I feel like real estate that one lives in will always be a good use of money. Maybe not always a good investment in the sense of a return on investment, but if it's one's literal home, is a gain or loss relevant? I owned during the real estate crash in 2007. It felt like it sucked, but in retrospect, I didn't sell and didn't need to sell, so now ten years later, it didn't matter. Do you feel like a half acre gives you a good deal of privacy, or is it more like homes stacked together, just with kind of big yard space? I'm looking at buying land to eventually build a private home on and am trying to get a scale for minimum lot size.
