156. Why You Should Consider Buying an Old House | Paige Sander of Farmhouse Vernacular


Listen Later

New homes come with many modern conveniences, but there is a depth of character in old homes that is hard to replicate in new construction.  It is no secret that I have a love for older homes, so I’m excited to bring my friend Paige back on the podcast to chat with me all about why we both choose to live in old homes.  Not only do we talk about why we love them, we dive into how you can approach your own purchase and renovation.  Even if buying an old home is not on your radar, stay tuned until the end of our conversation because Paige gives some incredibly valuable budgeting and planning advice that can apply to anyone’s home!

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why would someone want to buy an old house over a newer one?
  • What to look out for when taking on the restoration of an old home
  • Weighing whether an old home purchase is right for you
  • The factors that make an old home so charming
  • How our mindsets have changed in regards to building homes today
  • Designing and furnishing your home in a way that honors its original craftsmanship
  • Major red lights and green lights when evaluating an old home for purchase
  • The trouble with trying to force modern home features into an older home
  • A few modern upgrades that are truly worth it
  • A genius budgeting system that helps you tackle your goals and plan for the unexpected
  • A foolproof method for breaking down large projects into attainable, daily action steps
