Hello Tigerpaw40,
Generally Tigerpaw40, is that the speed of the heat to the tap is
directionally proportioned to the proximity of the hot water tank. If it is
close to the taps, then expect water sooner than any taps that require more
pipe to get the water there. We are in a 4 level split home and we shower
right over the HW tank and get hot water almost immediately. However, in the
kitchen, about 20-30 feet more pipe to warm up and further away, we have to
wait a little longer....bottom line (In your situation) is that the hot
water tank has been placed in a close proximity to achieve the quickest heat
possible in all locations...good for you!

Moved into a 1978 built two story home. The weird thing is we get instant
hot
water upstairs in both bathrooms. In all the homes I have lived in you
would
have to run the water a bit to get hot water. In this house the water is
very
hot instantly. Is this something that was designed in the home, or could I
have
some type of plumbing problem?
