We've now signed a contract on a second home. It's listed as 2732 Sq Ft. It's located about 3 miles south of our present home. Advantages: No Home Owner Association. It's on 5 acres and if we were horse lovers, we could have a stable and 2 horses. (But we're not.) It also has a rainwater reclaimation system with drip irrigation, sprinkler system and timer.
The home is new but has been sitting empty for one year. This allowed us to purchase at a reasonable price.
Hopefully there will be no issues with this home.
