I am so thankful that we build our house 31 years ago. I honestly don't know if we could afford the newer homes. Prices have gone through the roof, I think. To give you all a better idea...when we married in 1974 we bought a two bedroom house trailer on an acre of land with a two car garage for $8500. Yes...you read that right....$8500.
In 1977 we moved our trailer to the side yard and built our 2 bedroom house. We have a mudroom, two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and family room and built it all for $23,000. About 10 years ago, we built on another bedroom and bathroom. Guess we were very lucky, compared to what newlyweds are up against now...huh?
