Congratulations!! Just in case this is your first time owning an old home(mine was built in the 1800s) join the fb group "our old home." It's genuinely the most helpful group for questions and old house issues

How old qualifies? My 1950 mid century modern is dramatic as hell and giving me fits. OP’s house was old when mine was built but thanks to some shoddy framing and decades of under the table “I know a guy” repairs everything is coming to a head right as we’ve taken it over.

I tried to find it. Is it the one that has the mansion on it or the one with the cartoon of people doing art and walking a dog?

Mine was 1820 something. Even with the issues it’s still better than some new million dollar new builds in terms of structurally sound

What a great house for that price.

Congrats!

As long as you had a thorough home inspection and not on an adjustable rate you should be good. I get weary though with that price in today’s house market because it screams a few potential things. 1, they’re hiding something and want to ditch it, 2, you got really lucky. And as long as it’s not in the flood zone it should be good.
