When we visited an ex Angeleno friend in Rockwall, TX, we were told to look at such and such a mansion and told it cost $500K. Our chins dropped and hung down to our chests. The homes are so large and lovely. Also in Nashville, where I am interested in moving. How can you keep 5000 sq ft clean?? It sounds like a palace.
Our fifty year old house back home was 1,000 square feet, and sold for $395K. I almost felt ashamed accepting that offer. There's no way in hell that house was worth that.
