      Also, the housing market here in Blue Ridge is outrageous. We got a modular home made for a quarter of the coat of what it would have been to buy a home of comparable size (1800 sq ft, 4 bed, 4 bath). We were blessed by Mom giving us a little land, but even if we had to have gotten the land, we still would have been out cheaper than a traditional home.

    Ms Pressly,
    I stumbled across y’all’s channel yesterday and instantly fell in love with y’all’s family. Kind, gentle and hard working people.
    I look forward to to watching you and your fiancé turning you house into a home.
    You asked for suggestions, so I’ll pass one on to you.
    My father always gathered his family (8 of us) around the dinner table for supper. It was there that we kids learned how to pray, argue, forgive, communicate, listen, cry, love, respect etc etc…..
    For me, memories of our times at the dinner table are so valuable to me.
    Truly, my dinner table experiences are…..My Cathedral in Life.

      @@thepressleygirls Remember with a regular fireplace without an insert allows the warm air inside the house to be drawn up through the chimney - actually making your home colder. The outside air to replace the warm air drawing up the chimney of course is colder and then it will feel colder. Please keep the propane for backup. You can always purchase your own propane tank and then call around for prices and fill it up with the best deal. And always call for your fill up in the summertime - the prices will be at their lowest.
      We usually call three places and let them know that we own our own tank and are getting the best prices ; )

    You found a great house. Love the wide decks. I can imagine having morning coffee on the upstairs one, or at least stepping out to see what the weather's like before you get dressed. Love the porch swing, the fireplace, the beadboard, the wood ceilings, the yard...I even like the red cabinets. But my favorite part is the sound of the spring on the screen door; that takes me back.
    I think you're wise to buy a house. Every bit you pay on the principle is yours. I'd suggest paying a little extra on the principle each month if you can, even if it's just a few dollars.
    Yes, here in SoCal housing costs are crazy. On my street of 65-year-old tract homes a 1365 sq. ft. fixer upper just sold as is for $850,000, and that's below market.
    May you and Austin be very happy in your house for many years.

    We built a house this year because of the housing market. It’s a really good market to sell in, no so much to buy in. We live in the Fort Bragg area and YES- houses getting sold 2 hours after going on the market 💯.

    Don't get rid of gas. It's cheaper than electricity. Baseboard heaters will run up your electric bill in the winter. I recommend adding a woodstove. Great h eat producers. Way More efficient than a fireplace. Cooking on a gas stove you can control the heat better than electric. Especially the dreaded glass top electric. I know its been two years but these are my tips.

Just as you described, on and off the market in hours. We too both being 60, planned to rent, but was not going to pay someone else's mortgage! From what we are seeing, it is this way nation wide. Again Congrats to you and Austin.

    If you have natural gas appliances of any kind-KEEP them! If you switch to electric and you lose electricity, you cannot cook. If you have gas; however, you CAN cook. Same with that gas stove you have. If you lose electricity in winter, you lose heat. With gas you keep that heat. Also, if you ever start canning, you’ll be grateful for your gas cooktop. And, gas burners cook much more evenly than electric. I know y’all use cast iron cookware. CI was made for fire :) They cook beautifully on gas cooktops. If your appliances are all propane-I would still keep it for the reasons above. If you lose power, you don’t lose heat or cooking ability. Congratulations on your new home! It’s lovely 🌺

    we just moved into a house here in central louisiana. houses would go on the market and where sold within days or hours. the property was owned by the vetrans administration and literally took us several months to get closed, title issues and government red tape. bur we got our interest rate at 2.75% and with about 20k of equity built in 67k if you count the down payment. long story short Gods hand was in every part of it, housing was going so fast that God working for us is the only reason we where able to get it.

You all are like a breath of fresh air. 🥰I just thought I'd chime in to say there is hardly any inventory of homes out here. People are fighting over ~1,000 sq ft. condos built in the 70s, offering upwards of $800k for them, and even offering up the full price in cash!! And that's in the suburbs too, not even in downtown proper!!!! It's insane

God helped us find this very beautiful place!!!

    P.s. I left a comment after first seeing this video. But I forgot something, the little bird on your deck had something in his beak and it looked like some kind of nest building material. I've seen this little bird here where I live. It's a Carolina Wren. He's a tiny bird but he has a tremendous song. They build in very small place out of the weather when possible. I thought it was very appropriate for a "Carolina Wren" to be building his home on or near " YOUR NEW HOME " Just a thought!
