[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] In my N.Arl neighborhood every new build is 6-7 bedrooms and bathrooms, and many look like apartment buildings. The builders make them this large because the lots are so expensive ($1 million+) that they have to build a huge house to reap a profit. I know many downsizers and people with no kids or only 1-2 that are having trouble finding a home that is not a giant McMansion. The smaller homes have huge bidding wars and go very, very fast.[/quote] Why can't the developer build a multi-family unit instead of one McMansion?[/quote]
