Yeah, I just had to go look at MLS again. Found a house in Crestview (comperable to Acadia)- 1500 sq ft with a pool for $180K. I almost have that much equity in my house here right now.
As for the taxes being double; it depends on your perspective. My parents pay about 25% more for their house compared to mine and it's value is about 60% of mine. However the same house here in Calgary would be worth double; so for the quality of house they are paying about the same.
