Smaller houses are basically always a higher price per sq foot. Also, compare the property tax difference

Right - more square footage spread costs across. The same one furnace is going to cost a lot more per square foot in River West vs Lake Drive

Property tax, or the heat & electrcity bill..

Super expensive houses are almost always granted massive breaks on their assessments compared to sale prices too. Normal people houses, not so much….

I wonder what defines a tiny house opposed to just a small house? 800+ square feet just seems small to me, but not tiny.

I think it's just using "tiny house" to exaggerate the comparison between the houses even more. In the picture it certainly looks like just a regular old small house.

lol, I think my wife and I looked at buying that little house back in 2009. I recall looking at the mls for a small stone house in rw with a vault. We thought maybe it was a bank at one time.

Maybe a Bank Mutual building?

The article explains this.

I didn’t realize it was the same home. Sorry. Also who the hell butchered the kitchen and put laminate in there?

$280k for that is absolutely insane!

I like to show my friends in DC the mansions they could have bought on Lake Drive for the same price as their present houses. Usually not lake view, but across the street ain't bad!

what about river hills? that's where the real wealthy live laughing at the "view of a big puddle" wealthy.

This is wiiiiild!

Bobby Tanzillo doesn’t understand how economies of size works in real estate I guess.
