[quote=Anonymous]My neighbor who lived on two acres pool in Potomac downsized to a larger sf house in retirement

He bought the 7,000 sf house on my block in an estate sale. It is only 1/2 acre. Flat plot. No pool, house is large takes up a decent amount of plot, big driverway and circular driveway in front so less lawn. He had if fully renovated top to bottom before move in. My block has gas lines, sewer lines, water etc. He claimed it was the land that was killing him maint wise and all the little projects.

His new house, four sided brick, slate roof all redone inside is now zero repairs next 2025 year, smaller plot he just has landscaper. He did all work before he moved in.

Lucky guy bought Fall 2019 Did not move in to Fall 2020 and by time home old sold in January 2021 he got a big price due to Covid boom. That is luck. But he claims it is not size. It is a house with a plot easy to take care of and a house like his all Brick, new vinyl windows, slate roof that require zero exterior upkeep is what makes it easy. . [/quote]
