[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my searches in Arlington, there is often not that much of a price difference between well maintained, older 3-4 bedroom houses with 2500 sq ft (often around $1.5-$1.7 million) and relatively new McMansions with 5-6 bedrooms with 4000-5000 sq ft (often around $1.8-$2.0 million). So it can make lots of sense to just go for the bigger house, even if you don't really need the extra space.[/quote]

Something doesn't add up.  Usually new construction home are 2x the price of older homes in the same area, I think you are underestimating just how much new construction homes cost these days, and based on prices for older homes your area must be expensive.  I would think new construction huge homes would cost about 3 mil these days, big difference.  [/quote]

I'm not sure why you think I'm making this stuff up. Older 2500 sq foot homes:

Newer, 4000+ square foot homes costing the same or slightly more:
