I continue to be amazed at how affordable Chicago properties are. 

Depends on the area.  Non desirable areas are lower in price while the desirable areas command a high price.

I was in Manchester in November, it was a charming town, (we went to tour two Frank lloyd Wright houses), I was amazed that there is a Southern New Hampshire University Arena, I thought it was a diploma mill!

My husband is from Manchester and I thought that it leaves a lot to be desired.  Never wanted to live there.

We were only there a couple of days, not long enough to see all the warts.

HH Remote Retreats--LOL, repackaged crazy town.  Shades of Homestead Rescue 😂

Couple with two kids and shit for brains and a $900k budget move from one area of CO to another, more remote spot with 150" of snow in the winter. They're outdoors folks, but he travels a lot. 
She has concerns about keeping the kids safe out there--he, who wants acres--asked his kids if they wanted to share a bedroom (they're preteen girl and boy). WTF? House 1 has death trap driveway, septic and well. 

The second place has a stuffed mountain goat mounted on a two-story stone fireplace and I'm actively disliking these weirdos. Let's talk more about big fires in the area, says realtor.

Moving on to house 3, closer to town (and schools, neighbors, food, etc.). Keep thinking Mr. Isolation isn't home a lot.

Realtor is an idiot. Says wood-burning fireplace is primary heat source--it's a huge house with baseboard heating, dude. What are you talking about?

Holy crap, they bought #1 for $815k and his dead mother would be glad. Hope they don't find  the bones of the wife and kids buried in the snow. Wife liked price, says check back after a winter out there. Nope.
