That house pricing is crazy even to me, and I just watched my brother buy a house in Tupelo MS. In my own neck of Nashville I would need to pay about triple that to get a house as described, more if I wanted to be in the "nicer" area.

Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If I remember correctly, when I was young lots of families had kids sharing rooms and STILL had a guest bedroom. I don't really understand how the family who had our house before raised 12 kids in a three bedroom house with only 2 closets and a dirt cellar, though.
In my part of Brooklyn, 72K will get you less than 100 square feet of space.
We have a bedroom for each kid but they insist on sleeping in the same bed, so they might as well be sharing.
I know it's ridiculous, but we now have a four-bedroom house, so have had to come up with names for the other three bedrooms, to differentiate them. Not cool names like Steve, either.

study
conservatory
Just be wary about inviting Professor Plum over for a drink.
Why not Steve??
(NB: I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with any number of bedrooms, but the House Hunters people often make me laugh.)
I would not have been able to convince my husband to name a bedroom Steve.
We actually do have a study/library in addition to the bedrooms. I would feel guilty, but I love the library so much that I don't care.
I did have the same thought about just needing Colonel Mustard and a lead pipe.
Gud, that price makes me weep.
I feel wasteful in my house. I certainly don't need 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths for me and two PITA cats. Hell, didn't even need it when Rob was still alive.
Let's not even get into the $150K upside down-ness of it all.
