Real estate agent Jim Weber deals very specifically in historic Victorian & Craftsman homes throughout the Los Angeles region. His website not only includes links to his current listings, it also has tips for buying and selling historic homes, and a few resources for folks who appreciate these pretty old houses (they should put us up on that list, too!).
our friend David forwards us this sad news about the possible upcoming loss of many fine bungalows in Detroit:
There is a current meltdown of foreclosures in Detroit, Michigan. Some bungalows are selling for $20,000 or less; here is the auctioneers website.
I’m afraid at these bargain-basement prices and the exodus of renters who can’t find jobs, many out-of-state buyers might chose to tear down the houses and sell the salvaged materials. Or whole neighborhoods could be bought cheap and torn down for future development.
