One observation I've made living up here full time.
If the house is $3.7 million, 6000sqft, 5 beds, 7 baths its seems to get used about 3 or 4 weeks a year.
If the house is $529k, 732sqft, 1 legal bedroom (plus 2 illegal ones), one 3/4 bath, water still pulled from the lake, interior original to 1947, questionable plumbing and barely insulated the damn thing seems to get used just about every weekend and most every week in the summer.
Based on my observations the analysis would seem to indicate the less expensive the house the better the value proposition!!!!!!
