Choice of Residence

[Poll #690264]

I realized that almost everyone considers both factors to some degree. But I'm interested in seeing to which side more people lean, which is why I didn't put a "Both Equal" option. Choose whichever is of more importance to you, and feel free to discuss.

I have seen homes that otherwise may be valued around $300,000.00 be listed for half a million or more simply because they are in an upscale neighborhood. The location and community will carry more weight in the seller market than the house actually will. At the same time, I have seen people way over build in a neighborhood that doesn't carry the market and they loose their shirts in the end. They can't get out of it what they put into it.
