Giving Old Homes New Life

Written by Posted On Sunday, 24 September 2017 04:02

Do you own an older home and you’re not sure what to do with it? Perhaps it has become a little run down or is simply showing its age. Have you considered selling it, but been told by a real estate agent that your home won’t sell unless you invest countless dollars into renovating it? Does having the house torn down so you can sell the property seem like the only way out? If your house was once a safe haven for you and your family but has become more of a burden in recent years, then you’re not alone. Every year in the U.S. nearly 300,000 homes are demolished; while some of these homes may be beyond repair, the majority are salvageable.

The Environmental Impact of Home Demolition

Over the last decade there has been a growing trend in neighborhoods all across the U.S. that is sparking a lot of controversy. People are buying up homes in historic neighborhoods and tearing them down in order to build larger, more modern houses. Television shows such as “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” have helped to promote this practice by televising the demolition and reconstruction of a family’s home.   This “rebuild” trend has become so prevalent that cities all across the country are passing laws to prohibit the destruction of these historic neighborhoods. While replacing an old home with a new one might seem appealing to many, few stop to consider the impact this rampant demolition has on the environment. According to data provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the debris from home demolition is filling landfills and dumps at an alarming rate. It’s estimated that roughly 1 billion board-feet of timber each year from home demolition ends up in our landfills and dumps. To put that figure into perspective, that’s enough to build more than 33,000 average U.S. homes.

Home Recycling

In recent years, as more and more Americans try to be more environmentally responsible, “home recycling” is gaining popularity. This process involves the careful deconstruction of an old home so the materials can be recycled and reused. While home recycling can reduce the amount of materials that end up in landfills by 75% or more, the process is slow and considerably more expensive than traditional home demolition, making it impractical for all but the wealthiest of old home owners.

The "We Buy Homes" Alternative

There is a quick, easy and hassle free alternative for owners seeking to sell older, run down homes.

Chances are, at some point you have seen or heard an advertisement for some company offering to buy your house, no matter the condition. While these “We Buy Home” businesses may seem too good to be true, the truth is they are often the ideal solution for people who need to get out from under a home quickly and without all the aggravation of traditional methods of home selling.

These home buying businesses are typically real estate investors that are very knowledgeable about the home buying process and have quick access to investment capital. As a result, they are able to offer you a fair price for your home, no matter the condition. They can handle all of the required paperwork and close on your home in a fraction of the time of a traditional home sale. Best of all, most “We Buy Homes” companies actually renovate these properties rather than demolish them. This means significantly less debris going into landfills and dumps and the chance to see the home you’ve cherished being enjoyed by a new family instead of being destroyed.
