alt Hacker NewsI absolutely love pre-1800 homes and am exploring a few ideas on how to help preserve and promote them. The main thing I'm working on to that effect is https://homelore.org
It's like a carfax but for your home, although the intention is more to create an interesting historical narrative that inspires people to care about the history of their home rather than as a tool for inspecting home issues before buying.
My target customer is realtors who want to inspire buyers to take on historic homes that may need a lot of work. Also home owners themselves of course.
“Like carfax but for your home” is a really interesting idea. So many homes are bought with little-to-no history beyond an inspection of questionable thoroughness.
If this became the norm, somehow, it would be a really helpful tool for both buyers and sellers.
