[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, it could be return to office, or, it could be that those people who bought into the rural living have figured out it's actually a lot of work and money to (properly) maintain a big property in the country.   Especially in the winter when you're on the hook for your own snow and ice removal.   A tractor that can handle snow removal and large property mowing easily will cost you 40k, and that's just the tractor not the blades and mower you would need.    Big zero turn mowers cost upwards of 10k.  You could use a garden tractor, but it would take you all weekend to mow, which is not how anyone wants to spend their free time.

We see it where we live (small farm, exurbs), city people who move out here, make it an average of 5 years before calling it quits and heading back in, usually after they experience a winter or two and the rose colored glasses come off. [/quote]

I think we're talking at cross-purposes regarding distance to services; acreage; or ability to hire mowing or snow crews, no? My friend lives in a rural area, but in a development where everyone pays the same contractor for those things. She herself doesn't lift a finger. She prefers commuting a few days a week to living closer to work on a tiny property.[/quote]
