Yup. This. I bought a three bedroom two bathroom house on 2.5 acres in 2017. Its current estimate is twice what I paid. If I had to move, I'd spend far far more per month for a smaller house on less land.

Successful bookshelf purge! I have 3 tall bookcases in the dining room, & between them I was able to locate 20 books that are ready to go live happier lives somewhere else. This, plus a little rearranging, led to the creation of One Empty Shelf, which I shall fill with plants.
