It was a great price, having said that, there are lots out there. Some were much better houses and many were under 400,000 (Which was our upper limit).
The BIG battle was finding one that had the "ingredients" for my wife. Lots of land, no history of flooding, nice neighbours.... etc... I could not believe some of the bargains she passed on.
She is 19 yrs younger and the chances are great that she will outlive me. I want her to be happy where she is - far more important than any "perceived" bargain by me.
