[quote=Anonymous]We bought a house that needed some updating although it wasn't horrible.  We did it all - even more than we imagined when we first moved in - within about 5 years.  It was nice to live there awhile and have our style evolve.  Eventually, after we were done the original house, we added on to the house and, because we had settled on the "look" we wanted, we were able to do the addition in a very seamless way.  It really felt like "our house" because of the time we spent doing the work, living in it and figuring out how we wanted things over time, not all in a rush.

We recently sold that house to move to a much bigger one that was custom built.  Everything is done.  There is a lot more room.  But, I am already starting to tinker and to change, and it doesn't really feel like "my house" yet.  There is something about living there as you - and it - evolve that makes it yours.  If we had to do it all over again, I wish we bought a big fixer upper, not a new construction house that was allegedly "done".

It is totally a matter of choice, of course, but for me I would do it, OP.  Good luck.[/quote]
