Grandma's House

If you look at a good number of houses, you will probably run into one. Grandma has either passed away or moved to a more senior friendly locale. Her house, she so lovingly decorated in 1978, is now for sale. Good buy, or good bye? While exceptions will exist you may see this trend. Grandma did not want to worry about climbing a ladder to paint, a leaky roof, a cold draft from leaky windows, or a furnace going out during Christmas Dinner. Often these homes are the perfect opportunity for first time home buyers. The new roof, aluminum clad trim, new windows and new furnace mean many of the big ticket items have been cared for. A little sweat equity, (wall paper removal, new flooring, painting and sprucing up) can turn this house into your dream home. Don't be afraid to look past these minor cosmetic issues. Underneath them is a home that was made good enough for Grandma.
