T-Minus 283 Days: A New Home Requirement

 Most Florida houses sit on .25 acres. They pack the houses into subdivisions with about enough room between the houses to allow you to open your window and almost touch your neighbor's house.


My wife has realized that we have a large dog, a Labrador. Unless we want to take the dog for a walk three times per day, we need a yard. The other day, she said to me "You have to tell the real estate agent that we want half an acre so the dog can be outside. And it needs to be fenced in."



Half an acre? We have half an acre for our New York home. It is nice, but, half an acre in a Florida subdivision is not a common thing. The requirement is going to severely cut our options. And a lot size that large could add $10K or more to the house! What is the dog going to do to earn $10K to pay for all this extra yard? I can't charge the dog rent.

Half an acrea.... Oh my God.
