How true. What the house last sold for can veil a myriad of unknowns. If you go by this, you can overlook many exceptional homes. I always look at current sales, then consider additions and benefits to living there. Then I visit my top five and see how they compare. I consider new but they can be stripped down to essentials without costly expenditure not to mention the well-known hassles with tradespeople coming and going all the time.
I know some just look for price for a particular model but that most often doesn’t get me what I most desire. Less in some areas can be more overall and I don’t want to look back with regret too many times.
