Yes… but it’s close. We live in a smallish house (all things being relative) ~1750 sq ft, no basement.
We’re currently hosting a teenage exchange student, and the house is definitely big enough, and I think it would be big enough for two small children. However, in 15 or so years, if we have two teenage kids, I think the house would feel very cramped

I live in a 2 story, and likely will have to get lift installed when I am in my ’80′s. Or hire a student loan indebted man servant, and invest in a riding crop.

Easily, the house is a bit large for two people, but in a great location. The second story will help keep my legs/knees in shape. In ten years I still won’t be 65, so I could probably easily make it another 15 years here.
Blurtman–lifts are relatively cheap.

RE: Kary L. Krismer @ 3 – Good to hear, although I have a ways to go before need one I hope. I am still running, and doing the Jingle Bells 5k shortly. I always dreamed of having a fire pole, though.

One good thing about the post home market crash is that more buyers look at a home now and ask themselves “can we live here for 10 years or more” as opposed to “we’ll buy this, sell it in 4 years and leverage up to a bigger home”. A home should be a home first and foremost, and if you’re lucky, an investment 2nd. Buy with your heart and brain, not with dollar signs in your eyes (developers / investors excepted). Call me old fashioned!
As for me, I’ll die in the only home I’ve bought…probably by falling down the stairs or having a 250″ big screen TV falling on me (yup, TVs are huge in the future).

Four years? For many it was two or three years!

After searching for several years we bought in 2011. In the process I found that a husband and wife don’t always see things the same way. I saw potential in a house, the wife didn’t. She liked someplace, I didn’t. To have us both like the same house and have it be in our price range….probably will only happen once this decade.

Yes, I would live here for another 10 years. But, obviously, I rent – and it’s an apartment. So, maybe my vote should not count. But who knows, we might still buy if something nice shows up.

I’ll be happy if I live 10 more years…period.
