Loudoun County Virginia has a significant number of homes that were constructed prior to 1813 (200 years old).
Many are splendid examples of early American craftsmanship.
Many are wonderful examples of the simplistic styling of early American homes.
Many are significant examples of the grandeur enjoyed by some.
Many are just plain OLD!!
Over the many years I've sold homes in Maryland and Northern Virginia, I've come to realize that, while the historic homes listed for sale are all interesting examples of 16th and 17th century craftsmanship, many are not in viable living condition.
Some reasons why many historic homes for sale may stay on the market for long periods of time.
Basic necessity of daily living, water and sewage disposal, are not properly functioning.
Sellers provide no information about past or present mainenance/repairs.
County records are scarce.
Accessibility is difficult.
Maintenance has been neglected.
Pest control has been neglected.
Homes lose value with age.
SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT HISTORIC HOMES. Some things become very clear to an experienced real estate broker when viewing many historic homes 200 years old or older.
1. "Historic" has little if any market value.
2. Basic livibility is important to home buyers.
3. Maintenance never goes out of style.
4. Records have an increased significance to buyers.
Considering all of the above, we still love historic homes. Experience has taught me that, many home buyers seeking the historic home are as interested in preserving history as the basic livability of a property. They consider themselves, and rightly so, the custodians of an American real estate treasure.
