Are you one of those amazing people who loves historic homes and wants to restore them to their former glory? Perhaps you think owning a historic home is going to be a series of problems one right after another. Perhaps you have a historic home, and you are looking to sell it to "just the right family".
Here are a few things to consider.
1. Selling a historic home is like a work of art. It is to your advantage if you know the history of your historic home. You might be surprised by what secrets the walls of your home would tell about its life. Check with the local public records or historical society to see if a chapter on your home exist.
2. Builders do not build like they used to. Older homes often have the most amazing interiors and architectural features reflective of an original commitment to artistry and quality. Traditional craftsmanship often does not have a brand name attached.
3. Young people love old homes. Many people in their early 30s and mid-40s in markets like Philadelphia and Washington live in historic homes that are 90 years old or older because historic homes are in established neighborhoods that foster community and are located close to the downtown area.
The love affair with historic homes is not just for the "old". Today's millennials are in love with historic homes in a big way. The location of historic homes puts millennials at the epicenter of metropolitan living.
