I've been house hunting for the last few months now and was wondering what others think.
It seems in most situations, for the price range and area I'm looking in, a home will either be smaller and older but have a larger front and back yard or be new/newer but have little to no back yard and a small front yard.
I think about having kids and them having a large back yard to play in and how nice that'd be.
But on the flip side, I think the reality of it is that my wife and I and any kids we might have will all end up spending a lot more time inside than outside the home.
We're now faced with the option of.
House 1:
Built in 1995. 3 bedroom 2.5 bath, 2 car garage.
Wood siding, signs of wear and tear, would probably need a new AC in a few years if not already.
Has a large fenced in back yard and a decent front yard.
House 2:
Built in 2005
Home is like new, ready to move it, needs nothing done to it with the exception of getting a fridge for it.
All the materials are low maintenance and meant to last.
Has a small front yard and pretty much no back yard at all but does have a decent patio out back that'd be good to grill on.
Has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths.
