OK, driving this morning I overheard Watson on Rock 102 venting about how his wife and him are looking for their first home but are frustrated with what you get for what you pay...  having a home on the market my first thought was I should send him my listing, my second was an internal giggle at the fact that every house I've bought I've felt the same way.

Here's the deal though, when my parents moved to Saskatoon they felt the same, when they bought their next house moving to the East side in the early 80's they nearly choked on the $78,000 price tag, likewise my in laws with their first home in the late 60's early 70's thought they over paid (under $20,000) for their first and were told they were over paying when they bought their second home for $53,000 in the late 70's
