I don't mind old house, if the location and layout are good.

You can choose old or new house, it depends on you. You can't change the purchase budget. That's why every house has its owner.

The house in market has its value, this is market price. You need balance by yourself. Many old house well maintained is wonderful.

In my city the best location along beach all are old house, before 70's, because the people are smart to build the best location first, then move to the next.
