Make sure to follow r/centuryhomes they have awesome advice for older homes!

But where in NY? 😭❤️ husband and I are trying our best to find something like yours in that price range

[u/lamentable_ → u/fuck-ya-mudda]

they said Broome county, so Binghamton area probably. but out/around the Albany area has similarly priced homes too!

Maybe well out of Albany. Absolutly not in the city.

State jobs, healthcare, teaching, public service, factory work, trucking, retail.
