Detroit for sale!

Now here is a site that anyone who wants a deal can get behind. Building Detroit! So many wonderful homes for sale and not too expensive. Yes, most of these homes need extensive renovation, but many are in some wonderful areas of Detroit. 473 Chalmers is a prime example. Does it need renovation? Of course! But where else can you get a home for this price?

Prince Edward Island

I love Atlantic Canada. Old house galore and such reasonable prices. Here is a beauty located in Murray River, PEI. Yes, it needs work but look at that staircase detail!

Best of all, it is 25000!
Yup. 25000 CAD.
The Murray River that leads to the sea is at the end of the street.

Old House Sites

I expect all of you know about a lot of the old house sites but this is a new one for me. Old House Dreams.
I am thinking I should do a post on all of the old house sites and where to find old plaster recipes!
Let me know what you think!

The cheapest house in Canada?

Is this the cheapest house in Canada? I have found some for a little less in Newfoundland but I love this place!

France!

Who knew that if you don't mind renovating you can buy property so inexpensively in France? Not just any property but stone buildings, barns and farms. I found this fabulous website just brimming with barns and homes in rural France. The cheapest price? 7500 Euros or 10525 Canadian (and even less if you're an American.) And then this helpful website about working through the process of renovating. Lots of tips and tricks about how to work through the renovation process as a foreigner.

I love this one for 15,655 Euros because it has a bread oven! That's 22000 CDN. It is in the town of Droux which has a high number of English speakers.

If you look at the pictures you can see the solid wood beams holding up the floor of the second story. It would be wonderful to see more pictures of the property as the roof line looks even, but it would be great to confirm. Unlike many of the barns on the website, there are already windows in the building, a blessing when dealing with old masonry. I would love to renovate this one.
