Home Selling

Maysville, Ky. – September 08, 2026 -- Buyers eyeing a historic home should look past ornate moldings and original woodwork to inspect the roof, foundation, wiring, and plumbing before making an offer, according to real estate expert Debi Beiland of Limestone Properties, Inc. in Maysville, KY.

Beiland's insights appear in a new HelloNation article titled "What Buyers Should Check Before Buying a Historic Home." The piece notes that a property's age alone doesn't signal serious problems, but maintenance history and prior repairs can vary widely from house to house. A dedicated historic home inspection, the article says, gives buyers the clearest picture of a property's actual condition.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- August 28, 2026 -- Homeowners in Recklinghausen, Germany, are discovering that decades of deferred maintenance can shrink a house's resale value far more than the cost of fixing it would. Brummelt & Müller Immobilien GmbH, a real estate agency in the western German city, said buyers are increasingly avoiding homes where heating, electrical systems or windows haven't been updated in 30 or 40 years. The agency's outlook covers the wider Ruhr region, where a wave of generational property transfers is now reaching the market.
