Gosh Kim that is interesting , in NZ that does not happen too often, because of building covenants, for example the new subdivision opposite me, I would have been able to buy a section there, but not able to afford to build the size house and the materials, only in the older areas will you find maybe a cheaper house and more expensive one side by side, although building convenants can be a pain, I really like the idea of them, as you just won't find million dollars homes and cheaper ones together here.
