I feel like we optimized "tiny houses" almost a century ago and they cost the same with double the square footage

My house is brick, ~1000 sqft and was built in 1925 and it's solid as hell and only cost me like 70 grand (to be fair I bought it in 2017 and zillow says it would cost almost twice as much now)

Speaking of scams, does anyone else who owns a home get constant texts and phone calls from corporations who say they'll buy sight unseen so they can turn around and rent them/rebuild on the lot? poo poo is scummy af

This is lead generation. They make their money by selling any positive response to an even scummier set.

Not one has taken me up on my offer of $900,000 and a twinkie.

$900k would be a pretty good deal for a lot of the houses around me. My neighbor just listed a 1200sqft house built in the 1920s for $850k. It's in decent shape but it's not most-of-a-million-bucks nice.

Mine is worth between $550k and $600k.
There are townhomes going up down the street that are starting at $450k.
If I'm going to sell, I'm going to make sure I have enough to buy a house in this market, and $900k gets me there.

*extremely normal museum guide voice* And here we have this beautiful inflatable sculpture piece, titled "Hayley". It is primarily vinyl and you'll notice both photographic and fiber elements in the face and hair respectively. Please do pardon the mess; we have a professional crew coming in tomorrow to give he-... it a light cleaning before the event. It was originally sculpted by...

If this was the cursed images thread- oh wait, it is

There was basically no other choices in this town when we bought our house. One old lady was about to sell to us but her kids talked her out of it.

The guy who built this house was extremely cheap. He poured the foundation 90% of the way around and used this existing rock for the last bit. Naturally, water seeps in around and the water is full of iron. It was rigged up so the water would run through a channel under the house, down to a ditch that separates the road from our property. Because of the pretty orange sludge, it gets jammed up, resulting in the basem*nt flooding sometimes when theres heavy rainfall if we dont keep on top of it. The basem*nt is also only about 5' high, so even if we wanted to fix this up and finish it, the house would have to be jacked up first. Which I wish we had the resources to do because we desperately need more room, as well as to correct this awful situation.
