[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. We bought a 70 year old house. We have small kids and put about $15k into repairs in the first six months. It sucked. But we haven't had another thing pop up over the next three years. I'm still happy with our choice. [/quote] +1 We bought a 90 year old house knowing we'd have to put in new windows. We ended up needing to do about $10k worth of plumbing work on top of that in the first year. 4 years later, nothing else has cropped up. Love our house.[/quote] I grew up in a house built in 1890 and my first home purchase was 1881. Incredible craftsmanship in both, but I still had to update appliances, so some remedial electric work, replace windows, refinish or replace the wood floors. That’s just part of the deal. It sounds like OP chose the wrong old house for their lifestyle. [/quote]
