davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2025

[Alliecat]

The coin-flip exercise seems like something for people who don't actually know whether they want to move or not. 
I also see so many listings that look much the same -- entire houses where every room is the same meh shade of gray.  Fad features like white kitchens and barn doors and silly little bathroom sinks with no countertops, cookie-cutter places with no character.  (Then on the other hand, there are houses with ridiculous features like carpet on the walls (big lot and cool layout, really made me wish I could be on one of those reno shows and turn it into something), and WHY would anyone want a bedroom the colour of dried blood???  There's no happy medium.

It was frustrating that in 5 minutes' drive in any direction from my TX housesit house I saw more houses of a style I like and would want to see inside (I mean, brick ranches actually ON RANCHES!), than I've seen in 2 years of daily scrolling through Nova Scotia listings.

I missed the point about the Vulcan house, I think...  You're thinking 250 is a lot?  House prices in Canada have skyrocketed everwhere.  For anything other than a mini-home ("mobile home") 250 is probably a bargain.  That one looks much better inside than I thought it would, given the exterior.  Vulcan is in Alberta.
Here are some "average" house prices for perspective: https://wowa.ca/reports/canada-housing-market
Which is kind of silly because averaging over a whole province really tells you little about rural vs. urban pricing.
