[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]

Older 3-4 bedroom homes are not $1.5-1.7M. I’m sitting in my $1.2M 4 bedroom house in N Arlington in a neighborhood full of 3-4 bedroom homes in the $800-1.3M range. I agree if you are building or renovating, it makes sense to go bigger. [/quote]

You probably have not checked prices lately. Unfortunately, those houses that are $800K to $1.3 require extensive renovations or have flaws that make them unattractive (sorry, but I am not buying a house with only two miniscule bathrooms and barely any closet space). Here are a couple examples to prove my point:
