A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment.

There are certain cultures in which members lack permanent homes, such as with nomadic people.

What is the lifespan of the average home?
Q. I live in a 1 1/2 storey home built in 1922. I have totally updated the home, (wiring, plumbing etc.). There has been some settling mainly on the second floor, not enough to prevent doors from closing. I purchased the home in 1999. I have not noticed any new settling since. I am wondering how long a lifespan a home built in 1922 has. I like my home but it is 84 years old. I will be entering retirement when this house turns 100. I maintain this home accordingly but I wonder if it is wise to have a 100 year old retirement home. I would appreciate some comments on my delima. Thank you.

A. As long as you have updated everything that needs to be, you should be safe. I have installed new furnaces in homes that are well over 100 years old, and house looked great after they updated everything. Working in many different aged homes, I've noticed back in the day they built houses to stand forever, now days they put the houses up as fast as they can and move on to the next one.

Q. I am wanting to buy my first home and the home i found needs work. I want to take a home equity loan out to make the repairs but i dont know what kind of time frame i will be looking at to get one. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Asked by Kelly - Tue Nov 13 09:39:29 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. depends on how fast home prices are going up - they are supposed to stay down or flat for at least the next year or two, so I wouldn't count on any decent equity for at least 5-10 yrs
