FWIW Zillow says it's been for sale since last July and was originally listed at $228K.

That's a starter home by Plano standards, isn't it?

Seriously? I don't live in Plano, but I have a good friend that's lived there for years.

I'd call it a starter, or maybe a "downsizing" sorta of a home would be more accurate.

It really might as well be a zero lot line home, eh?
