I've never lived in a house with a basement. The house previous to the one I live in now was 900 sq ft with no garage. It was enough room even though Mrs John tried to fill it with stuff.
There is a house across the street from me which has recently become vacant. I heard the landlord passed away and the family is going to sell it. It's in bad shape, needs a roof and has junk cars, etc. Zillow says it's 486 sq ft and has no garage. The Zestimate is $450,000.
