Pretty great. Had a small (1050 sq/ft) house built in a semi-rural area and live comfortably. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, was only ~$210k. Bought about $6k in points to get the interest rate at 2.25%. My mortgage is less than I was paying in rent for a ratty old single bed/bath 640 sq/ft townhome.
Plus I got out of the city. It's quiet. Night sky is beautiful out here. Just stars as far as the eye can see. I got mountain views, deer chilling outside my house. I've got one neighbor across the street and my next closest neighbor is like a quarter mile up the road. It's lovely.
Also, I don't plan on selling, but apparently the place is already worth something like 30% more than the purchase price.
