Heh, yeah...  It is surely more challenging to be buying a house these 
days, but that situation seems to swing back and forth some, so perhaps 
it will get easier again.

The yardwork can indeed be a pain, but I look at it like this - keeping 
the house nice means that when you get old enough and it's time to 
"downsize", it will have enough value (when sold) to be able to buy a 
smaller place, and have quite a bit left over as a bonus.  I'm not ready 
to downsize yet, but it will be paid for in under two years now.
