99% of U.S. houses and most 2-3 BR condos are oversize but fairly acceptable.
I saw a Tudor style brick house for sale $540k, close to 100 Hillside Ave. 1825 sqft for a couple with a baby. 3 bed rooms, each big enough for a queen bed. There’s a big dining room + living room…. Completely unnecessary for me.
The “extra” space requires
- bigger price tag
- extra renovation cost
- extra tax every month
- extra heating cost
- extra on-going maintenance cost and effort
Why not save the $200k (or whatever) and use it on
- investments
- enrichment programs,
- more family reunions
