In this video, the narrator said that "cottage style homes"... "usually have steep thatched roofs" which is completely untrue. Building codes would never allow such a flammable roof as thatch, FYI.

The price of houses don't go particularly with size or style, but where you live. In certain areas a million dollars will get you a pretty run down house, while in other areas you can get a mansion with $350000 dollars. You can find amazing and run down houses anywhere in the country, all cities (big and small) have neighborhoods with massive houses and beautiful gardens and areas with rundown houses.

Wrap around porches with screens were popular in southern areas before the advent of air conditioning. Also popular were kitchens
that were connected to the main house by a covered walkway; when large fireplaces, then wood stoves were used for cooking. This
kept the house cooler and if there was a fire in the chimney (always built on the outside wall away from the rest of the house) the
chimney could be torn down quickly to prevent the kitchen and the main house from catching fire

One of the first Craftsman houses had a price tag of $1537.00 above it. That house is an example of a mail order house. You could order a house from the Sears and Roebuck catalog and it would be delivered to your address. It required you to assemble it, however. Can you imagine? I have actually been inside one of the Sears and Roebuck houses. The interior finish was pretty much left up to the owners and they could do what they liked there. Order a house from a catalog? Still makes me laugh.

You'd be surprised at the homes you could get for your money in some states. Prices vary wildly and some states especially in the Midwest offer a lot of beautiful land and livable space for fractions of what a home would cost in LA

Yes, a 30' by 60' Ranch style home with a full basement can take an 1, 800 square foot home and almost double that in useable space (some basement space will be reserved for a Furnace and Water heater) with installation of finished wall, doors, rooms and bathrooms downstairs in the basement. And in the middle of the country we need the basement for shelter from Tornados. Kansas here. ;o)

They didn't mention the split foyer style home which is popular around here along with ranch style homes. You might see a few of the others mixed in but it's mostly ranch and split foyers here in the midwest.

Quite a few of these houses are huge, even by American standards.

Mid century modern homes were mostly built in the 1950’s to early 70’s. Ours was built in 1955, is 1500 sq ft, his one main level and has a full basement. We’ve updated the interior to open plan, but have kept the original feel to the exterior. These have regained popularity in cycles, with newer versions being built in the 2000’s. They are easy to navigate with having only one main floor, and can be sprawling. By new-build standards, our house may be on the medium-small side, but it’s on an acre, so that really makes up for it. Cheers🙏❤️🙏

The Beesleys, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

Hi Beesleys! Don't feel bad about getting a house, but years ago before my wife and I got married, we used to drive around looking at houses for cheap dates. We also scoped out what we might be able to afford. We found one soon after we got married and the both of us stayed here for the past 17 years. Now I live here alone being that my wife passed last month, but cruising around neighborhoods was fun. We still did it after we got married. Just to see how rich folks lived.

My Father was a middle class working man with a good job at a union printing factory. And the house me and my brother grew up in was a one level, with a crawlspace, 3 bedroom ranch style house with 1 bathroom, and a 1 stall garage.

When he bought it brand new in 1950 it cost $10.000. And today it is worth about $80, 000. It would be a little more, but over the years he did not do any add ons to the house. The guy next door with a similar house built on to it, he added a room on the side, and made the master bedroom bigger, and it is worth $150, 000.

It 's in a nice little subdivision of Peoria Illinois called Peoria Heights, population about 5, 000 people. It's a nice little city with no crime and I think 4 police cars. Me and my brother both grew up there and we had a great childhood.

Many of those styles are common among the middle and lower class. They just happened to show pictures of the more extravagant variations of the styles than the bare bones variants.

My house is twenty feet long by 8 feet wide, with a seven feet by eight feet loft at one ond.
Most might call it a fifth-wheel trailer.

The latest craze in the midwestern and southern parts of the US is the barndominium (a home built like a barn, either with steel or wood siding). Barndominiums offer more space and square footage at an affordable cost compared to a conventional home, so a lot of young Americans are going that route when building their homes.

Love your Channel and Millie... Bless your heart you were trying so hard not to yawn a covered it up quite good but I put it on full screen on my computer so I could see you really good LOL. By the way I live in a bungalow home in the historic district in Memphis Tennessee. I don't believe they mentioned Bungalow homes.

[alfredsmith]

When y'all got to the Southern antebellum (pre civil war era) homes, I recognized one not far from me named Longwood! Here in Natchez, it's the oldest city on the Mississippi river and there's antebellum mansions everywhere! Check it out!

[albertnavarro]

A bit of trivia for you, the Playboy Mansion is a tudor-style home. Which is why you viewed tudor-style homes in Beverly Hills/Beverly Glenn.

[cloudsn]

They didn't quite get to Pacific Northwest style homes, but that's okay. We're sort of an amalgamation of styles, lots of ramblers, craftsman, some random Victorian houses, modern. But what nearly every house has in common will be a decent sized roof overhang to keep the rain away from the walls.

[livinglife]

Cottages here don’t have thatched roofs, it’s shingles, metal or cedar shake.
