[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not like old houses nor do I like small houses.  But I'm from the south, where living in a old or small house usually means you are probably broke.[/quote]

It's the opposite in this area!!! Go 45 miles outside the city and you'll have a Mansion for what you'd pay for 1,500 square feet close-in.

I love when a Southern inlaw was going in about how her friend just bought a million dollar home while she was standing in the kitchen of my $1.5 million home.  I just demurely smiled in the Southern way.  Bless her heart for being so ignorant:)[/quote]

I don't think they are the "ignorant" ones.  After all, you are the one paying 1.5 million dollars for a house that you could get for $200,000 in many other places.  When we were in D.C., I felt like the ignorant one for spending almost $800,000 on a just-o.k. house.   We moved and paid $250,000 for a five bedroom, all stucco house in a golf, tennis, swim community.  Our home backs up to the water and I can be on the beach in ten minutes.

Your inlaws have presumably been around longer than you have.  They are probably smarter than you give them credit for.[/quote]

Um, no. Only ignorant people don't understand how real estate prices work in different parts of the country. It's great when you can afford a really nice, perfect house where you want and need to live. Other people make compromises.[/quote]
