[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how old is your house?

When people talk about preferring old houses, I think they mean prewar. So anything in the 1930s or older.

No one wants a house from the 70s or 80s though in 2019, you might consider those old too. [/quote]

Not true as it just depends on house. My 1975 house I bought in 2017 was originally built really good, four sided brick colonial with central air and gas heat. Built with five bedrooms upstairs and 4.5 baths.

My house I sold my 1955 split house was built no AC and had oil heat and I could not add Central AC as house built with no real attic or places in walls for air handlers or vents. I also did not have gas heat and had no water heater as hot water on demand form oil and no real place to squeeze a water heater in. I also did not come with three baths new so third bath kinds jammed in.

I also looked at some  late 1990s and early 2000s houses and they seemed to be cheaply made in house  boom and time bombs as HVACs, Gas Burner, Roof, Kitchen Baths all have around a 30 year life span. Seemed owners did nothing and owned for 15-20 years and next buyer gets the time bomb where everything goes in next  ten years  [/quote]
