My wife and I have been looking for something new for a while now. We eventually want to get into a single story home. I'd prefer a craftsman style, but if we have to go with a ranch or something like that I don't really mind. We just know eventually we won't be able to handle all the steps. Like you said though, prices are horrible everywhere. I'd like something with a bit of land, but anything that is decent is either way out of our price range or gets snapped up right away. It's just stagnant out there after that huge Covid boom.
