ParticipantI am taking now a few months long hiatus in house hunting. But still I am watching, UC included, and I was actually recently telling my DH that there seem to be more deals in the low 500s and 1500 sf in UC nowadays. It almost seems that prices are coming down a tad bit there (or it’s more inventory). (to clarify, at my current workplace, from UC I will take 52, the fastest route – I am not against it at all; my DH would take surface streets).
NOTE: definitely NEED 2 baths for 4 people. If 2 story, got to be 2.5. We won’t compromise on this one.

ParticipantThat’s a very good point BG. I am not from here and so I won’t comment on that. (my gut feeling would be probably not). I imagine though that many houses back then were that size – while more recent construction has increased dramatically the size. So at the time a 1200 sf was not something standing out as “tiny”. It was just like most other houses of your peers and friends. But it would defintely stand out nowadays. (Except maybe UC, the areas I am looking at houses are relatively newer and larger.)
Our parents weren’t worried about paying mortgages thru the retirement, didn’t worry much about healthcare and or how they’d live in retirement or how to send the kids to college – because they didn’t have reasons to worry. In that sense they had it better. The average life was affordable on one income – and without having to give up on much.
Very true about “less choices, less worries” – couldn’t agree with that more! Honestly, more choices stress me! Our parents had it much simpler in that regard! There it can be too much of a good thing.
