[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]

Agree. I lived in a city row house for 15 years as a young adult and we have been in the burbs now for a decade and while I have fond memories of that home, it’s not my childhood home and it’s also not my “family home” where I’m raising my children. I’d never knock on the door. Don’t really care. My childhood home is so, so different emotionally and sentimentally and I’m sure once my kids have flown the nest, our family home will feel the same for me. [/quote]
