@rmc_wannabe! In our bouncing across the country, we consistently had the ‘smaller than average’ house, and generally felt the surrounding houses buoy up our value when it came time to selling…almost made it easier/faster to sell since it was at a favourable price point in the neighborhood. Upon retiring, we got a place that was a bit bigger than we originally planned, but we were also mindful of the ‘parents getting older, may be part of the household one day’ planning factor…but still smallest on the block.
