What would you buy?

[nangiggles]

If you had the choice to buy a house that is really old but on a big lot with a pool or a newer home with a small/decent yard what would you pick? considering they pay similar taxes and have similar prices.

 

[miplank]

depends,

Can you afford the upkeep of a pool and an older house?

 

[DJLegacy2k5]

The older home is nice but how much money do you have to put into it to fix it up nice? If it's in good condition and you can fix it up for only a few thousand dollars extra it might be a good investment because of the extra land and space. But neither one of them is a bad choice depending on location and things like that. Also depends on specifics such as which house has the rooms, space, layout, amd ability to be modified to your tastes.

 

[SPEKTOR-AAA]

It would really depend on the a few things. For me, landscping would be huge, if the older house had mature trees and nice curb appeal it would be highly considered. Also would think about the heating/cooling system, piping, and roof situation. Older homes have a certain sense of character that you cannot buy when new depending on the house you choose obviously.

The newer house is safe if you want to hopefully limit the headaches/or things you might want to change.

which is why inspections are done prior to purchase.


Nan, you probably should've specified that you wanted advice from people who have actually purchase a home/homes and not still live in mommy's basement.

You ain't shit, post more pics of you wads of cash and countless colognes. I feed off it just as much as you do bud.

Older house (1958) is 1641sq ft on a 0.70 acre lot that is compeltely fenced in (it's actually 2 lots that you are buying) and has a work shop that later can be made easily into a mother in law apt, the house is in move in condition and needs no work, also comes with a 1 year warranty on a/c, roof, electrical, plumbing, all household appliances, the pool, etc, the other house was made in 1990 is 2024sq ft on a 0.22 vaulted ceilings, all stainless steel appliances and no warranty (and I saw the roof and it has at least 3 layers of shingles) it's a corner lot in a nice area, the older house is in a nice area as well but not "as" nice as the new house....

would depend a lot on the locations of both and the potential for the value to rise.
