Yeah I do dig the modern/minimalist style -- although sometimes they can go overboard with it. When a home starts beating you over the head with how modern it is then it's too much.
This right here is a style I really dig.

Built in 1954 but completely renovated. Got a photo gallery if you click on the photo in the link. But yeah I have no idea why I'm scouring homes like that...when I should realistically be looking at places like this

Cost? $1.5 million dollars. Yikes.

In close in suburban and urban markets, the the size of the property is more important to the price than the size of the house.
In the area I live, there are older houses that sell for nearly a million dollars, and they immediately tear down the house. Sometimes they divide the lot and put up two houses. This has happened so many times that people in the neighborhood sued the county to prevent further sub dividing of lots.
There's a large orthodox synagogue at the top of the street, and there is a lot of demand for homes that are within walking distance since Orthodox Jews aren't supposed to drive on the sabbath.

What do you guys think of McMansions?
I think they're sickening. They're customized out of catalogue magazines and they're made of cheap Chinese materials and chip board.
Theres like billions of them popping up all over the US, and they're themed, like all the houses in a gated neighborhood have a common trait. Baby boomer American mom's buy them thinking they're great! It's a mansion at a fraction of the price for a real mansion. My friends mom literally bought 2 of em, identical, next to eachother. Similar to the pic below.

Old Tudor style homes are fucking awesome. Anything over 2500 sq ft is over kill for 2 people (IMHO)

There's an area called an eruv where certain rules are relaxed for Orthodox Jews. Property within this area are in high demand. This is an article about my neighborhood

I prefer McMansions over really old houses. Older buildings that haven't been updated tend to collect a lot more dust, I've noticed.
But you're right, one thing I don't like about McMansions is how thin the walls are and how loudly sound echoes through the home, because the materials they use are so cheap.

Idk if it's been said already, but this makes me think of model homes in arrested development.
