mcsluggo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 you could buy an even tinier one in the Bay Area in the shadow of you-know-who no ****!! i looked to find a house in palo alto to compare to the detroit price.... but there is NO house under $800k in the whole city according to zillow. this 2 bed 1 bath destroyed foreclosure was teh only one under $1.2 m http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Palo-Alto-CA/19503229_zpid/26374_rid/700000-1100000_price/2526-3969_mp/any_days/37.450945,-122.071496,37.350304,-122.195607_rect/12_zm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 zilow estimate: $740kOf course! And more than anything I would ever need or want. I mean, everyone thinks it would be super awesome. But you'd need a cleaning staff & gardners. (Not that I mind being a "job creator", but security issues being what they are, I'll stay a member of the "small folk".) I don't like strangers in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 try being black, and then calculating cleaning staff and gardner expenses. Seeing as how they did it for cheap the last 400 years. that was a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Strangely, I didn't like our house when we bought it. Wife loved it. I like it now because it's not too big—It's fine but I can't keep up with the maintenance on it. Just the perfect size house for two working adults who keep a pretty full schedule.

Chew Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 yeah... REALLY cheap.... Right?! Free room and board, sounds kinda "wahhh, poor me'ish" to me. LOL it's not too big is that what she said? Folks often underestimate how much of a pain in the ass it is to maintain a big(ger) house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 zillow estimate on this one: $750 k http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/77588591_zpid/500000-_price/1804-_mp/any_days/38.051857,-84.498331,38.04874,-84.502209_rect/17_zm/ gorgeous mansion, on several acres, in the middle of downtown lexington KY. easy walk to bars and restaurants, and museums, UK, and UK basketball games (i went to last Christmas mass next door ) asking price is $1.2 m .... but it has been foundering on the market for years (the current 130 days listed is the for the third time that it has been put back on..... after being taken off market) they think they can squeeze an extra 500k because Mary Todd Lincoln was raised there. punters.

skinsmarydu Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Folks often underestimate how much of a pain in the ass it is to maintain a big(ger) house We've only got a "standard" 3-BR, 2 BA stupid 70s split-level. We've gotta pay the kids down the street to do yardwork, wash cars, etc...which is OK...we're job creators. They've actually turned it into a small business & have gotten odd jobs & steady grass cutting "contracts" from some of the other neighbors. Good kids. I couldn't imagine having to take care of all this **** myself. I used to have my own house, by myself, and I did the raking and small stuff, but cleaning gutters and yardwork I had to pay for.
