The first-time buyer: Choosy beggar

I don’t mean to be mean – Ok, maybe I do. Here goes: who buys these little ranch houses? There, I said it. Got it off my chest. It was the chihuahua in the room. The ceilings look about four feet high. Even the photo is bad. Do people buy them as teardowns? This one, which I stumbled upon in Bridgeport (didn’t see it coming and bruised my baby-toe), is priced at $310,000. For the same price, or a little more, you could get a bungalow. Look at the ceiling heights compared to the bungalow to the left. I can’t even see these ranches coming into vogue in 10 years time, even if general home prices become prohibitive.
