Will you be ready to buy an old house for its antique value?  

Hi, If I had that much money, I would surely buy an ald house for its antique value. I love antiques. I have some antique pieces I keep as a collection. A house is just a dream....It can cost a fortune, which I may never be able to afford.

No srganesh, I wouldnt. :) First and foremost, I am ignorant of such things. Second thing, I would be terrified of the ghosts who dwell there LOL, third thing financially it doesnt make sense! Unless you know how to recover your monies and interest on them by showing the antique house to others, it doesnt make sense owning one. And if it has to be a house where I live, I would prefer privacy rather than showing to others! Other factors against it - it would need a lot of maintenance, and there would come a time when its antique value becomes nil. Spending for that event doesnt make sense to me.

i am really not into things which are antique and that includes old houses. i believe that spirits of the persons who used to live there still continues to inhabit the place. and thinking of that gives me the creeps!lol =)

I will buy that house if i have an extra money. My second reason is the value of the house which will be double as time goes by. Antique houses are rare and worth to see, so many people or tourist will visit your place. You will not directly benefits on the tourist but your town will be.
It is also nice to feel that you own an antique house because not everyone has an antique building.
Have a nice day. Happy mylotting

Nope. I do not have one bit of artistic bone in me so I don't care much about the so-called "antique value". I'd rather buy the ultra-modern home at the same price.

Its a no for me. I would not be practical. I like antiques stuff but I will not far as an old house. I find it very creepy. But if the house is in a good condition with a unique artistic design then I might go for a second look and decide whether or not to pursue.

I like old houses, and I think that many of them are beautiful, but I am not sure that I want to buy one myself. There are many things to consider. The house might need a lot of renovation if is old and I am not sure that I could afford that. Another thing is the safety. Many of the really old houses in my country have thatched rooves. I think that thatched rooves are beautiful, but I don't want to live in one, it is too dangerous in case of a fire.

I like to buy antique things because I like them. But, I have to think well before buying a house because of my likeness to antique things. I am not rich enough to buy a house now. So, there is least chance of buying an antique house. If I become very rich in future, I will think about buying an antique house for sure because I am fond of antique things.
