@KayKay: that sounds perfect :). Lots of flipped houses where I live and as long as it's a good one I would pick that option!
-
I would reno an older home, because I prefer more established neighbourhoods with bigger trees, different looking houses etc. than new developments.
-
i'd prefer to build from scratch but this may be a delimma we are in soon. We ere always planning on building on family land, now DH's family was wondering if we would take over the existing home (we would be the 3rd generation there) I told DH only if they we okay with a complete renovation...like Chip and Joanna Gaines style

@regberadaisy: Thanks for the encouragement.
We're 2 years in and we have done a ton of work. Like you said, everyone loves it, but it does seem never ending at times. We have yet to have something completely finished haha. My husband is great, but he finishes projects 95% then moves on, it drives me crazy.
I'm pregnant right now so he's working on making the trim for the nursery, we will finally have one completed room in our house! Woohoo! -
Renos scare me too much. I think I've watched too much hgtv, lol. I feel like there's bad surprises lurking behind every wall you have to open up.
DH and I are definitely interested in building from scratch one day. And I currently love all the space and beautiful details in my "McMansion"

build from scratch!! we did it and still very happy. we're just not good at doing diy projects, and even if we hire people, somehow the projects always end up badly. we love how everything is new and up to date, don't have to worry about lead paint or any other health/safety issues. the yards and character of the house aren't as nice as older houses though but i guess you can't have it both ways.
