this is heartbreaking (in a munkii kinda way)

You guys.....

Today I had this crazy idea to look at real estate in my hometown, even though I'd never really want to live there. I came across this for only $145k.

        

    

        


It's a Victorian mansion for only $145k! Why? If only we could sell and buy.

That is beautiful.

That is beautiful! I had a similar thing happen when I looked at real estate in my hometown. I have ZERO desire to move back there, though. Instead I live in a house with minimal character that is twice the price.

Gah. It's obscenely depressing where we live too...we could get like a 5 bedroom insanely good barn conversion or something if we live like 90 minutes further out of London. Instead we're in less than 950 square feet and it's falling apart, and we're paying waaaay more than I'd like to for it.

I love that so so much! I do the same thing with the city I grew up in. It's changing for the better, but it would take a miracle to make us move back.

Yeah, I'm also in London. I look at what I could get in NEPA for what our London house is worth and I almost die.

But I'd never, ever, ever live in the WB-Scranton area ever again after living in London.

Ugh, I wish it were cheaper to put one of those houses on a truck and ship it to a city area.

Faux-lonial in Northern Virginia - $850K gets you harvest gold tile and 8 foot ceilings.

My parents are always offering to sell us their 2nd home for cheap bc they'd love for it to stay in the family. Its a beautiful restored 1910 brownstone with 4 beds, 2 baths and a huge wrap around porch. Its in my hometown, which is a deal breaker. So tempting, though!

So beautiful!
