Home square footage vs lot size
I am intrested in buying my first property in Richmond, Ca. There are a few options in my price range under 300k but I've noticed that some of the smaller houses I've found are on larger lots ie a 800 sqft house on a 4400 sqft lot. VS a 1000 sqft house on a 2000 sqft lot. The houses are all around the same price, area and condition. Just wondring if I should take the lot size into consideration when purchasing? I would think so as there is the option to add sqft at a later point. Any thoughts?
