Watching some videos of $400k + houses.. 2 car garages? More like 1.5 for sub compacts....

Size of a two-car garage will speak volumes about the design of a home. One can simply get the inside measurements of a two-car garage as a method to determine if a home is worth viewing.

Professional staging can hide what a home is really like. The size of a two garage is an impartial tool to access a home design.

It's also a slick way of expanding the inside sq. footage and increasing the price while making the house somewhat useless..... especially in area's with no basements....

Another tax video
Most good realtors can give you a tax estimate for the next year....

I'm seeing a bunch of houses with 4 bedrooms in a 1800 square ft range.
I know some need them but it's just as bad as the undersized 2 car garage....that extra bedroom cramps up the house....

My assessment of Florida is that the state generated a lot of revenue by migration. The fees for things like title and plates are very pricey when compared to other states with a red government. Lots of other taxes generated by people migrating from the northeast and upper Midwest to Florida.

When the migration from the Northeast And upper Midwest slows, Florida government sees a loss of easy income. The question then becomes.... Now what....

I actually heard several YT realtors say they don't want any more New Yorkers moving in ....rough crowd...
I guess they worked with @demarpaint prior.

I lived in Florida at age 17. Vast majority of Florida residents were from New York at that time (1982).

It is reasonable to assume a majority of today's Florida residents are a generation or two from New York roots.

You can see both cars are wider than the door opening in that garage. I hate 16’ wide double doors with as large as most vehicles are today. I do like those images, they really help visualize the house.

We built our previous with a large builder here back in 2010. If you got a 2 car garage they were only 19’ deep, which was a deal breaker for me as I had just bought a 2009 Dodge Ram and didn’t want to have to park it outside my new house. The house we built had a 3 car garage standard but the double bay side was 21’ and the single bay was 19’ deep. Surprisingly they had an option for additional depth so I added 2 feet to the garage for I want to say $2,300 giving me 21’ and 23’ depths. I don’t think you could do more than that but it was probably the best bang-for-the-buck upgrade they offered considering that was 2’ more concrete, drywall, roofing, brick, etc.

Seagate homes back in 2020 on the garage were $1000 for every additional foot in length....all block construction of course.

I figured I'd drop this here
House in PA I drive by often. Got a few quick pics from the road.
They did this early this year. I guess it needed a new septic tank and I assume this is the mound type...

Horrible as it goes right to the front door... like less than 10 feet away

Most likely they had no choice.. guessing it's a 60s house and the old failed septic required this but it's hideous

Exact issue I'm going to be facing, except in the backyard. Some would say it isn't that bad, but that really screws up my otherwise somewhat usable yard
