The reason there are so many for sale is that the people moved in when they were your age and now are dying off. A lot of the residents will still be much older than you. Do you have to have, say, stone countertops? I’m fine with Formica. Avoid a house where the shingles need to be replaced, or it’s the original HVAC system. I did have the original Berber carpet replaced with luxury vinyl plank flooring. That was $14,000.

The new roof and hvac are good. The plank sounds a bit pricey?
