There’s something special about older homes—the charm, the craftsmanship, the stories behind the walls. But if you’ve inherited a property, are holding onto a long-time family home, or have a house that’s been sitting empty for a while, you might be wondering: Is it worth selling right now?
The answer might surprise you.
There’s Growing Demand for Homes with Character
Not every buyer wants a brand-new build with gray walls and cookie-cutter finishes. In fact, I’ve been connecting with more and more buyers who are specifically looking for older homes, estate properties, or fixer-uppers.
They’re drawn to the character, the larger lots, the original hardwood floors, and the opportunity to make a space their own. Many of them are even open to renovations and upgrades—so a little outdated isn’t a deal-breaker. It’s a selling point.
The Market Is Shifting in Your Favor
With limited inventory in many areas, buyers are expanding their search and becoming more flexible. That means homes that might’ve been overlooked a year or two ago are now getting serious attention.
Even if your property needs some love—or has been sitting vacant—there’s a strong chance it could be just what someone is looking for.
Inherited Property or Estate Sale? You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
