Most of buyer clients always ask me, will you buy a new home or older home. My answer is always : it depends.
1 older homes have lots of personality. It has beautiful matured trees and landscaping. New homes normally do not have much trees.
2. Older homes might need more money to keep up. Water heater lasts about7-10 years. And it cost around 800-2000 to replace it.
Air conditioning might be close to the end of the useful life. And it is a lot of money to replace it. The other factor is the window. Some old windows are not energy efficient. You can see major price difference in utilities bill.
3. Some of the older homes have great craftsmanship in woodwork. It is great art to enjoy it. I saw a older home has great tile work in the bathrooms. Even after 30 years, it is still in great shape.
The key is to think of what do you like most before you move forward.
