It was and I was surprised at how far the costs of houses in that range had come down. I guess the balance of the cost of work needed, essentially then pushed them back into the proper range. As you noted, the upkeep would've killed me. I ended up with a 2500 sq ft mid century modern that was in rock solid condition that I got for a steal. I haven't had to do anything substantial in the last five years. Some things will be due in the next three years (windows and HVAC) but otherwise, it's been easy to maintain.
