Do The Math When House Hunting
House Hunt April 8: It's all about location, location, location ... and size.
What's the difference between a six-figure home and a seven-figure home? About 200 square feet in size and a few miles in distance, it seems.
While my wife is busy packing boxes for storage, I was busy looking at real estate listings, hoping to find an affordable home in the Twin Cities big enough to let us display all our knick-knacks — including my lava lamp.
I found a Greenbrae home on Corte Placida Drive listed at $785,000. Not bad for a 4 bedroom home in the area, especially considering the options. Another 4 bedroom home in Corte Madera on Prince Royal Drive is listed for $1,148,000. That extra digit makes a big difference.
