And if people's interest is in selling the house soon that makes sense. Otherwise, there are lots of us who either aren't able to spend $500,000 right now or who just feel more comfortable spending $300,000 on the house we plan to stay in for a long time. There is no one right answer that applies to everyone on this board, yet someone always weighs in with the ever-so-helpful "tear it down."  :roll: [/quote]

You sound very frustrated -- and it is frustrating because you can easily sink $300K + into additions, but they don't really give you the return.[/quote]

Thanks, but I'm not frustrated at all. I just get annoyed at the knee-jerk advice to tear it down. It really isn't the best choice for everyone. I'm very happy in my house. We have the house we want for the price we wanted. Return isn't an issue for us, luckily, since we bought a long time ago and the value has increased tremendously. We just didn't want to spend 500K when we could get what we want for significantly less. That's why I say that there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. [/quote]
