Just did a quick search on Prudential's site, active Cinna listings:
2,100 square foot 4 bedroom cape with $7K - 2006 taxes
4 bedroom, bi-level, 2000 square feet, with no basement $6K - 2007 taxes
4 bedroom, 2,070 square feet, 1 car garage, $7K - 2007 taxes
It stands to reason you could find 1,800 square feet around $5K, but 1,800 square feet and below is SMALL.
Just for fun - Comparable homes in Clinton, NJ
4 bedroom, one story raised rancher, almost an acre lot, finished basement, taxes $7.5K 2007
3 bedroom rancher, finished basement, taxes $6.5K, 2007
4 bedroom, bi-level, 1.5 acre lot, finished basement, 1 car garage, taxes $6.6K, 2007
Doesn't look a lot different to me.

i have family that met the criteria i posted. and if i'm not mistaken, billb fits it as well.
1800 sq ft isn't small to me, so we'll just have to agree to disagree on that point - and why i said "depends on your definition of "small"".

Well you get what you pay for. One of the most profound and fundamental truths in a free market society.
