Comments about ‘Want a free house? Better move it — to a new location’

If we are interested, how do we contact the home owner???

If you're interested in the house, read the sign!!!

There are phone numbers on the sign that says "Free House" in the picture. Also, they put the address in the article.

Living in an old, historic home may seem fun, but believe me, it will get old real quick.

"...may seem fun, but believe me, it will get old real quick" I don't believe you. I've lived in an old, historic home for 12 years and it is still fun. I love my old, historic home and can't imagine even thinking about tearing it down to build a newfangled hut.

The older Homes are better built, have better materials, and are sturdier! I would put my house up against a new fangled pretty looking Shack in a hurricane, or a tornado any day of the week! The home-builders will tell you "Particle Board" and "Flake Board" is stronger and better, in some ways it is, it's all glue and wood particles! Sounds good to me right? I will take ply-wood any day, the older homes wood is thicker! New homes have more insulation, and are WAY over-priced! That is why the housing market is in a crunch right now, they overpriced and over-valued the homes. Guess what folks, they are just homes, built quicker with less care and workmanship than the older homes. It's easy to install pre-fabricated "wood work" by a non-skilled laborer who can bang a few nails and make it look nice cause it's straight. GET A CLUE, AMERICA IS BEING DUPED! This house is probably better than the new one to replace it! If you have property near-by, this is a STEAL!!! Don't pass it up! *(See address in article for contact info!)

I too like the older homes and moved did move into a 1978 home in Kaysville, recently upgraded. I love the look of the older homes from 20s-30's era that look and feel very sturdy, however, lets remember, that code for wiring, plumbing and other features are now, miles ahead of what they were in those days in terms of repair and safety. Definitely pro and cons to both years of houses. That is what having your house inspected before purchase is worth to a person prior to buying.
The older houses have so much character as you suggest, but I also love the character of some of the newer houses I have seen. I do also agree that prices for new construction are things/issues a buyer must deal with depending on what a person buys.

wish i had a really big truck to load it on....

Habitat for Humanity be interested in something like this to help some poor family out there? I bet their charitable funds should be more than enough to cover the transport and relocation costs...

A nice article and a very interesting concept. I hope this house finds a good home.

Cougar Keith you are a know it all............

may this developer get extra bonus points for this tactic. if only all developers were so thoughtful.

Too bad there is not meation of trying to donate the home to a needy parson or organization ,
