sdduuuude, would it be worth it to add on to your present (Clairemont) home to get the space you need? In other words, do your area values support the expense of an addition?

Or would your lot be too small to do this without adding a second story?

It just seems like this is a better idea than attempting to pay 3-4 times as much for a home (w/poss HOA/MR) than you already did years ago. Especially if you still have young kids to support. JMHO.
