Don't you just LOVE a diamond in the rough? Many thanks to Cheri for sending us the listing information for this very modest home for sale in Hamilton, Texas that just happens to be filled with THE. MOST. AMAZING. interior woodwork. It's a Fannie Mae HomePath property, for sale for just $82,900. I want it! Wanna...
My inbox was sprouting daisies this morning when Estately emailed me this incredible 1970s A-frame time capsule home for sale in Midway, Utah. The listing is calling it a fixer-upper, but I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING, least of all the shag carpeting and that daisy-patterned vinyl flooring in the kitchen. Retro-fabulous! Catch You on the Flip...
by Elizabeth Finkelstein Since nothing makes me happier than a bunch of cheap, beautiful old houses, I thought I'd share three stunners that I came across while browsing Preservation North Carolina's property inventory. They're all for sale for under $35,000, which means you can have ALL THREE HOUSES for a collective price of under $100,000. I know. I KNOW. (Psst... If you come across any cheap,...

by Elizabeth Finkelstein I don't know what it is, but 10 is just seeming like SUCH a small number these days.

Enjoy! (If you come across any beautiful old houses for sale for under $50,000, send them along...
I want to thank Alison for tipping us off to this stunning ca. 1832 home in Windsor, NY, which she says is the oldest house in the town. It's being offered for free, provided it can moved off the property (Wondering how the heck you move an entire house? Here's how!) Please spread the word! ...

Every once in a while, I come across a fixer-upper that makes me stop dead in my tracks. Ladies and gentleman, behold this 69-acre island for sale (yup, the whole thing!) in Michigan, known as Squaw Island, that happens to contain an incredible 1892 lighthouse JUST WAITING FOR ME TO BUY IT. ...
