[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The previous owners of our beach house still live in the neighborhood and they have been in our house several times for social events. We have done quite a bit of renovation but given that they moved to a much fancier, more modern house I don't think they are offended that we updated the house. But of course these are events where we know they are coming - they aren't just knocking on the door.

Personally [b]I don't feel any attachment to houses and have no interest in going to see a former house. Our last house, where we lived for 10 years,[/b] has since been torn down.[/quote]

I wonder if this has a part in the overall equation?
There is a big difference between a house that a person has lived in for 10 or so years as an adult and a house a person literally grew up in from babyhood to college age.
It is what the house represents. A place you lived for some time or the very home you associate your entire childhood with.[/quote]

We moved quite a bit when I was a child - 3 countries, 2 different houses in the DC area, so don't feel an attachment to any of them. My adult kids are more grounded - we moved to our current house when they were 3 and 5. But interestingly neither of them are particularly sentimental about the house at this point. To me a house is a building.[/quote]
