Then again, I am all about making changes to spaces to fit your needs. We even weren't afraid to look for houses that needed some work. We ended up with a house with a kitchen that needed a TON of work and looking at it now, it was so worth it. Saved us a few grand! Plus, updating that kitchen alone bumped our property value up 20 grand! And we only spend about 3 on it. I am 150% okay with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/move-or-fix#post-725927 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:00:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 725927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fix! It may be impossible to find a house you love, so if you're happy with the rest of it, then definitely fix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/move-or-fix#post-725903 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:54:57 +0000 loveisstrange 725903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do the fixing. We're planning massive renovations to our house too, so I don't see a problem doing large projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/move-or-fix#post-725898 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:53:34 +0000 LindsayInNY 725898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd fix. You could probably do it for a reasonable price too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/move-or-fix#post-725774 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:30:04 +0000 Alivoo01 725774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd fix since 20 years is the tentative move date! That's a long time to "hate" your kitchen/1st floor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/move-or-fix#post-725725 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:23:23 +0000 MaisyMay 725725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would fix, especially if the timeline is 2 decades! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/move-or-fix#post-725717 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:21:42 +0000 stlginkgo 725717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have been in our house for about 4 years now. It is a great house: end of the street, four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, PLENTY of space.</p> <p>The problem is the downstairs. There is a tiny kitchen with zero counter space, totally closed first floor. Ideally, I would open up a wall between the front room and back room, and the back part of the house I would rearrange to create a larger kitchen and small "mud room" type area after coming in from the garage.</p> <p>DH thinks I am crazy and would rather just move (when asked when this move would happen he said 20 years!!) I said forget moving then! We will just slowly do things to the house.</p> <p>So what would you do? Would you stay and go all out with what you want to make it a perfect house? Or would you do bare minimum to get the house updated to sell (in 20 yrs....)? </p>
