Original Village homes and the modern buyer
These houses were designed for a different era of family life: compact rooms, minimal closet space, one bathroom, small kitchens, and no garage in many cases. They are charming and well built, and they collide with what a 2026 retail buyer is shopping for.
Retail buyers tour them, love the neighborhood, and then price the layout limitations aggressively. The homes that have been thoughtfully updated do well. The ones that have not been touched since the original owners sit, and each price reduction makes the next buyer push harder.
We are not comparing your home to an open-plan new build. We price what it is, what it resells for once updated, and what the update costs.
