[quote=Anonymous]For our first house I didn't have any idea of what renovations would realistically cost. My family was very DIY and my dad spent many weekends updating things around the house. We went in looking a lot at houses with a lot of potential, not houses we loved on day one in their current condition. The house we bought was livable, but the shine quickly wore off when finishing the basement and adding a bathroom proved to be out of reach for years, not months. We did DIY the backyard and it ended up "nice" but still not somewhere I actually wanted to spend a lot of time relaxing. The house we currently own I bought with the idea in mind that we would have to like it as is with no plans to update within the next few years. There are things we could do to update/improve but nothing that makes the house disappointing to live in without them.[/quote]
