re: Is This Really How People Decide How Much House They Need?

Just bought in the woodlands and the space in these houses was obnoxious. Second living rooms and extra master suites. But the build quality was very meh. Lots of carpet and crappy cabinets. They texture all the drywall here (when I asked the real estate agent if we can look at houses without it she seemed confused. I don't think she realized that was a cheaper way to finish drywall). Finally we found a house with hardwood floors, single story, real wood cabinets, etc., but it cost about 25k more. We're in 2400 sq. ft which isnt small to me. Its perfect and spacious for a family of 4. Most houses were around 3000 sq ft for a 4 bdrm.
