Bought my house in 1983. I’m still in it and it’s paid for. It’s a matchbox but it’s mine thank God. my payments were around $280 per month which fluctuated some due to refinancing several years ago. Anyway I look at the market now and am stunned at what is being asked and paid for homes. And everyone seems to want 3000+ SF and newly built. It’s ridiculous imho.

I watch these newly-built homes going up and they are ticky-tack. Good luck w/3k sq ft when winter comes around. I hear the utilities costs from people with large homes just to date and am appalled. As are they.
I also hear people bravely stating they do all their own housework in their mansions, then find out they simply cannot afford the housecleaners any longer. Maintenance people charge more as they, too, battle inflation.
