Mine's the same way -- they have the lot size and sales prices right - but they not only don't include the finished downstairs - which has been finished since about, oh, 1975 - they don't include the extension over the garage which was done ten years ago (about 500-600 sq ft).Christy said:

I'm wondering if when my house was first built if the basement and the upstairs was unfinished? That's the only reason I can think of for it being listed as 1 level. :shrug:SamSpade said:
I also heard that a basement can't be used in the square footage assessment. I thought it could be classified as "liveable space" if it was finished and had windows. Ours has windows on all sides, since in reality, only a few feet of our house is actually under ground. :shrug: Does anyone know about the rules for this?

Our windows are full size, well maybe slightly smaller than a full size, but they're all double hung windows and plenty large enough for even my large behind to crawl through. We also have a sliding glass door, as well as two regular doors in the basement, so exiting in case of a fire is easy peasy.AK-74me said:

Well then you should be good to go, I guess the site is just not 100% accurate, looks like maybe about 80% accurate with what I've seen so far.

I couldn't imagine selling and trying to buy now. At least not in the same area. It would be great if you moved out of state to the middle of nowhere, but if you're looking to sell you're existing home for a new one, you're really not making out. :shrug: I feel awful for anyone that has to buy in this market.Steve said:

Day looks often, but I'm not at the point where I want to move...yet. I would much rather wait a little bit (a year or so) before seriously looking for something. We both want to be in the Leonardtown school district before the girls reach middle school. Hopefully by then things will be a little more appealing.Christy said:

It'll probably be more expensive. I can't see the housing costs going down in this area any time soon. We're still not near the cost of N. VA homes, AND the base is getting more people and projects, so the housing shortage is going to continue for many years. At least that is what my magic 8 ball tells me.Chasey_Lane said:Day looks often, but I'm not at the point where I want to move...yet.

I agree with you 100%. With all the new people and projects coming to Pax this area isn't going to drop at all for a very long time.Christy said:It'll probably be more expensive.

Plus a lot of the builders can't build fast enough to keep up with the amount of people coming/moving to the area.
