Then again, if an addition/update will bring your house to be on the same level as others in the area I would say go for it. You always want to get as much out of your place as buyers are willing to pay in the area.

Nowhere near the castle. at 2500 sq ft, I might be pushing that. There is no standard size in my neighbourhood. Houses go from 300k to 800k on average, millions if you are on the ridge. In fact the average price in my neighbourhood is closer to 500k than 400k.
