[quote=Anonymous]It depends on where the older home is based. We had a 1938 built SFH on a 1/3 acre lot in Bethesda, walking distance to Giant and the library, strong school district (W schools). When we bought it there was a lot of updating needed because nothing had been done superficially since the 70s though there was a new boiler, laundry etc and maintenance to the roof and AC had been undertaken. The advantage of buying this house is that it still held some elegance and features of when it was built, we were able to sympathetically update it and then we sold it for a huge profit about 8 yrs later because it was not a MacMansion that would cost more than double its value.[/quote]
