Many of our friends have new homes, they are great, look nice and have some great features.
My house is one of Canton older homes little over 90 years old, with a history of prominent owenership.
This has been our family home, with all the traditions, memories and our family history is here.
We have thought about selling but just can't to much is attached to this house.
How old is your house or your parent home?
Could you sell it or will you some day inherent your parents home?

I live in an apartment building that is about 13 years old.
Hope this helps.

We have a modest 4 BR, 2 bath brick ranch. It's nothing great but it is very home-ish. It was built in the late 60's and we moved into it 1 day before my son was born 10 years ago.
We like it a lot....but will move in the next 5-10 years.

My home is 8 years old, We built it prior to both our kids being born. Original plan was to own for 5 years or so then sell but then the mortgage crash happened and we are still here. We are hoping to be out in about two years. We will not recover our initial purchase but we will be able to at least get more than we owe on it.

In my area, renting is a more viable option than buying a $250k house.Belly35;1553225 wrote:poor and stupid

Do they even have 250k homes in New Albany? Maybe in the ghetto of New Albany. I thought I remember you saying you lived theredlazz;1553229 wrote:In my area, renting is a more viable option than buying a $250k house.

I technically live in Columbus. If I cross one street I am in New Albany, if I cross another, I am in Gahanna.pmoney25;1553233 wrote:Do they even have 250k homes in New Albany? Maybe in the ghetto of New Albany. I thought I remember you saying you lived there
Regardless, there aren't any affordable homes near me. I am in a "cheap" apartment for the area and it's still $875 a month.

Our house was built around 1918. It's awesome.
3 bedroom, 2 bath. Around 2,000 square feet. Also have a 2 car garage (detached). We'll be doing some renovations to it in January and/or February.

Our house was built in 1909. The house I grew up in was built around the same time, too. It's kinda cool seeing some of the similarities, mainly the wood work and fireplace, between the two houses even though they are 150 miles apart. I am not a big fan of new construction. My dream home would be finding an old house with good "bones" and renovating it.

The two houses I have owned were all built in the 50s. Parents house was built in 1898. Dad bought it in 68 and never did a thing to it until the late nineties. Took all the asbestos siding off put up all new siding. Went room to room and replaced the knob and tube wiring and tore all the lathe off put insulation in and dry wall. Put all the original trim back up but had to have a local amish wood worker make us a few fill in pieces due to the lathe being thicker than the dry wall.

We finished our home in November of 1990. I had it built exactly how I wanted it.
My parents home was finished In 1946. My father built it when he returned home from WW II. I still own it and rent it out to some great tenants.
We have no desire nor reason to sell either.

My house was built in 1991. House I grew up in till I was 10 was originally started in 1840 and the last addition was around 1900. It was a great house. My parents completely redid it in 1972 and again in 1990. They built a new house in 1995.
