3 ladybugs Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I live in a HCOL area and I love it here. I NEVER want lots of land to maintain. In fact, right now with my husband between cataract surgeries I am thinking my yard is a bit big. It is about 50 feet by 120 feet or something like that. I could be off. For me, it is much like a "tiny house". Less to clean, less to maintain, I can walk (soon) and get my groceries, I can take the bus if the car breaks down. My neighbors know me and watch my house when I am out of town. Yet my children can see a Ferrari or another exotic car almost any day of the week. I don't see how people maintain a house that big without help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) In the entire county, if I set the search to all your requirements but filter out the houses over 4000sf, I get two results. One is $650k, old but not in a classic style and looks to be a house with a cottage to get to the 5 bedroom mark. One is 1.2 million and lake view but in a farther out burb on a hellishly trafficky commute route. Most of the 5 bedroom houses on 1-5 acres are more than 4000 SF, especially the new ones. Filtering homes over 5000 SF, I get 18 homes, only three of which are less than 1 million. Those three are all $550-700k in crappy school districts, with one essentially bordering the airport and one other fairly close to the airport. The ones over 1 million range from 1.1 million to 18 million. There are many 1 million+ homes that meet the other specs for 1-3 million that do not have 1 acre, with quite a few having tiny lots.

creekland Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think when people live in HCOL areas, most are probably not expecting to afford much land or that large of a house. My friends (almost all of who are college educated professionals, usually with 2 incomes and earning into the 6 figures) almost all live in much smaller houses on much smaller lots or they rent small houses or apartments. There's a trade off with advantages and disadvantages to both HCOL and LCOL areas. I see a lot of pros to moving to a LCOL area but I'm not willing to uproot my 13 year old who is looking at early college and has worked so hard to find his tribe from this general community, so I think we are stuck in this county or perhaps the southern or northern most tips of 2 adjacent counties. So for us the cost of continuity is less than ideal real estate. I agree totally. In hindsight we were lucky as we really didn't totally know what we were doing when we opted to move here. We moved when the kids were young (5, 3, 18 months), so they've grown up here and found their tribe. Middle son just brought friends from college to visit last month. I was concerned that they wouldn't care for our old, non-updated place, but they literally fell in love. Sure, we sat around talking about fixes that could be done - esp adding a second bathroom, but we were warned we couldn't even think of selling until they had a chance to earn enough to buy it. The setting is very, very nice and they came during firefly season when one can walk out in the evening and see (literally) thousands of them in the trees and fields. It looks like Christmas. It's why we bought it 19 years ago. We were asked if we wanted to go through the house a second time and I responded, "Why? We love the setting. We'll live with the house." It's worked. We have our house, large workshop, barn, pastures, a huge lawn (that can double as a pasture for parts of it), a large garden - could be larger if we wanted it to be, our own private campsite in the woods bordering a picturesque creek, and we live on a road that barely sees traffic - just our neighbors and those who hear when the pony foals are born. Our neighbors are awesome - fully taking care of our place when we travel and we do the same for them. No money exchanged. We all help each other if we have needs too - and get together for socializing, etc. Yet I'm 8 minutes from where I work (at school), less than that to grocery shopping, bank, post office, & fast food if we want it. It's 20 minutes to larger shopping and restaurant areas and 1-2 hours from "big city" attractions. When we lived in St Pete, FL, it took me as long (or longer) to get to places due to traffic. Then our mortgage is low enough that I don't have to work freeing up guilt-free family time. The fact that I do work part time gives us extra traveling $$. I'm definitely thankful. I can also see why others move into our area. I've always heard it was housing costs and setting, but seeing this thread really gives that meaning. Some have long commutes though if they don't work locally. I wouldn't care for that personally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mergath Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Anywhere from 200k to over a million. It depends on the location and how nice the house is. We live in rural farm country, so getting an acre of land isn't hard or terribly expensive. That house on one of the more desirable lakes in the area would jack up the price hugely, though.

ktgrok Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 What makes me crazy is around here the prices are some of the highest in this thread (one under 600K, the rest 875K to 3 million) and yet cost of living calculators say we are average or below average! They must be averaging in the tiny (often condemned) 2 room shacks that are falling apart that you can find in some areas (literally you drive by and see them with "keep out" tape showing they've been condemmed) to get to an average price.

I could use up 2500 or so SF if we could afford it but that is not super likely here. A MIL for my aging dad would be better for all of us than a bedroom for him. ;) Also, I am a fan of the formal dining room rather than those open concept great rooms. Please give me walls.

MEmama Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I finding myself thankful that we live where we do reading this thread... We only have a 4/1 house (and aside from windows and a new roof, it's not updated), but we have 23 acres of land. Our pond is one acre in size. I like my space. It sounds like there's no way we could afford it where many of you live. Yeah, but what the OP is looking for is really uncommon in many places. Here, a house like that is likely a drafty, ancient farmhouse--probably not at all what she has in mind. My town and area has few newer build suburban type homes, and those that are won't meet her land requirement. So to get it all--the (gigantic) size AND the land--is going to cost a lot because there are so few properties like that. My area is quite reasonable for New England and for the type of community it is. But in town houses tend to be smaller, and if she wanted a rambling farmhouse she won't get her 3 bathroom requirement. Same for classic Captains houses with land, or historic downtown properties without. It's just an unusual combination of requirements in some areas of the country.

All the rest sounds picture perfect! It helps snow-wise that I grew up farther north and consider us to hardly have a winter here. I like the change of seasons. It also helps that we tend to spend the month of February (+/-) in places like FL, HI, the Bahamas, etc... which we can do probably due to our lower housing costs (and not updating our house, etc). Snow through Jan is just fine - a change of seasons - looks pretty, esp when fresh. In March, even if there's snow, spring is also here making it nice. We just had to do something about Feb (when we can - couldn't do it every year for that long, but we always tried to do something). Many people in our area (or further north) try to get away for a southern vacation in Feb if they can. When we've been places it's sometime made me wonder if anyone was left in Canada since we met so many on our travels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I was going to guess $300K, but I am surprised to see that Creekland reports those stats as being somewhat lower. . . But without looking at her link, I'm going to guess that the lower end needs work or means a 45-60 minute commute to a bigger town and isn't really daily commutable to Baltimore or DC, whereas the higher end gets you closer to historic Gettysburg with a nicer house.

I know! When I was searching it said average home price was $250,000 or something. There was just an article in our local paper about the shortage of housing under $300,000. When a house comes up under that, it goes within days and there is usually a bidding war. Some friends were looking for months for a house under $200,000, and literally they never even got to look at one. By the time the listing was up, and they called, the houses were already pending. That went on for over 6 months and they gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I was lottery shopping the other day and found this 6 bedroom house that 11k square feet! :eek: :svengo: There would have to be a full-time live-in maid or something. I can't imagine. It's gorgeous. And the pictures make me wonder if she homeschooled. They must homeschool. Didn't you see all that wine??? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) The listing I pulled up in my town was built in 1977, but had been updated. Nice neighborhood. It was listed for $230K. Sounds about right. Edited July 14, 2016 by The Girls' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
