Hey, at least it's 40,000 sq ft. Try moving from Buffalo to Philly.
Buffalo: $280K - McMansion - built in the 2000's; updated, granite counter tops, updated bathrooms, hardwood floors, crown molding, etc (yes, you'll pay $10K in property taxes)
Philly: $280K: 2000 sq ft. BUT: Built in 1958, Knotty pine cabinets, green, Formica (if you're lucky) counter tops; pink carpets, paneling, linoleum, (in other words: a "big" house you'd pay $90K for in Blasdel)
Needless to say, it's another Wet Wednesday in Philly . . .
