[quote=Anonymous](These are the opinions of a recent NWNW home buyer.)

The first one doesn't have the bones to expand, so you'll always be stuck with something like a 1300 sq ft house. The basement ceiling height is too low, for example. A pop-up is the only option for more space, and that's probably an easy 150-200 here, and it wouldn't give you much additional space.

Similar comments apply to the third link, except the basement is even worse. You would put in 50-100k to renovate the existing home and be "left" with a 1600 sq ft home at the end of the day. Moreover, the lot size is misleading here. The backyard slopes down before the property line, so you don't have as much "usable" space as is indicated by the lot footage. (This is a general point -- one I learned while searching for house remotely from CA -- lot size is misleading. A smaller, flat lot with most of the space in the back of the home is worth much more than larger, uneven lots with lots of semi-wasted space in front of the home.)

The second doesn't have any pictures, but the lot size is generous. Depending on the grade of the lot, it may be usable.
