@bushelandapeck: 1770! That's awesome. And I'm sure a lot of work!
@erinpye: I'm really just guessing based on feel, so it's not exact!
@Bao: that makes sense!
@oliviaoblivia: in our old city, almost everyone rented small places because it was so expensive to live there. Anyone that owned, it was a condo or townhome. And yeah, when we buy, we'll pick a smaller, older home in a more desirable part of town for us versus new, bigger and further from the beach! So the opposite of your city! Ha.

@birdofafeather: not really opposite, just not close to beach, close to downtown. We're walking distance from the heart of the city. The folks with bigger houses that are as close as we are spend around $3-4 million but there is a lot of smaller older housing stock that is close in, just small and generally not in great shape or recently flipped.

It depends on the friends. Our house is larger than most homes are friends have in our home town. But here, it's probably slightly smaller? Another factor is that we are on an acre slightly farther out from town. We have more land than house.

Ours is average for our area and peer group. Real estate in our neighborhood has exploded in the last few years so I feel we are lucky to own a 3 BR/2.5-bath house here, where it's getting where the average dwelling is an apartment-style condo for the price we paid for a townhouse with yard.

A lot of people live in apartments where I am. It is kind of a hot thing here right now, luxury apartments. SO much less worries! High rises are popping up and cost more than homes! It is also pretty common for people to live in any type of apartment here, not just the new lovely ones. Most are 700-1000sf. Big homes aren't a thing here, unless you live in suburbs... and I don't know anyone that does! Or unless you live in the large expensive homes by the Uni... my doctor does... but a 1000sf home in my neighborhood is 300,000, I can't imagine wanting to spend more than that here, personally.

Ours is average for our area but larger than our friends. The only way we were able to afford it was because we bought our previous house at the bottom and it had gained a lot of value over the last couple years. So we were lucky. Otherwise we would've been in our other house (1000sqft smaller) for a longer time.
