| A single house, which is not enough evidence to support your post's theory. |

| The first home is what ahppens when you skip the architect and use a design and build company. |

Or have a specific budget or a bad taste architect. Maybe that's what the family wanted.....design and build still have to have blueprints etc. |

blah this house looks like it is hiding something with its addition and wrap around porch, oh wait I know what it is, A BUTT ugly 40-60s tract home. The mcmansion house if placed in the same location as the 2011 north monroe st house will ALWAYS sell more. It will sell more because it is new construction and was built from the ground up rather than built with the intention of hiding an old house |

| Wow the first house looks like two trailers stacked on top of each other. Awful. Maybe someone will buy it as a tear down. |

Most people can not afford a new house. Which is fine, except that we really need to be careful about about we ask for in a remodel. Sometimes what we had in mind just doesn't look right, making it more of a teardown than anything. Many additions that look horrible, no matter how much money spent, it would have been better off being a teardown. The PP is definitely the exception, as the house pictured had good bones. Though I wonder when the original build happened?
Some of the additions close in are hideous. One example that looks terrible is the pop out trailer looking windows (dormer with usually a flat roof). Why, why, why? No, no, no! |

| I'm guessing the North Monroe house was built in the 20s. Maybe one of us could sneak over and check! |

| Ugly. But Ivy League college applications don't ask for house pictures. |

| 17:40 - I don't get it. Are you trying to say you don't mind a sh*t house as long as your children get into Ivy League? Is having a sh*t house some sort of guarantee I didn't know about? |
