The house I’m in now is worth double that but I can’t believe that one has shot up the way it has. Thing was built in 1910.

That's just not an option anymore. At least not with any home recently built

There is the key. Buy an older home. It will have a yard.

There's a balance though. I don't want to buy an old house that'll have to fix

Life is full of tradeoffs. BTW, some older homes are built better than new homes
