Starter home or move-up home?

[Amber C.]

Hi Everyone! My husband and I are looking to buy a house for primary residence use.

I was wondering is it better to buy a starter home (3 bedroom, 1-2 bathroom, 1 garage) or a move-up home (4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2 garage)? Which kind of home will appreciate more? Assume its in the same city and neighbourhood.

We will need 2 rooms for us. We won’t be needing 4 rooms.
