Nope! Just two people obsessed with cheap old houses.
We look at listings all day long, so we always have a good stockpile ready to share. This is partly because we’re just obsessed, and partly because our jobs require it. We run an old house real estate marketplace called CIRCA, which features new historical house listings everyday. Elizabeth also writes the real estate section for Country Living Magazine. And all day, every day, people are DMing and emailing us listings, because we’ve kind of become known as the cheap old house people. We’re cool with that.
Elizabeth has a masters degree in Historic Preservation, so she knows a good old house when she sees it! All of the listings we show are very architecturally-intact and full of original charm and character. Hate is a strong word, but we strongly dislike houses that have been flipped and stripped of all character.
We don’t currently offer state-specific newsletters. However, if you visit our Instagram feed @cheapoldhouses, you can search listings by state using hashtags such as #cheapoldhousesny or #cheapoldhousesms

Richmond, ME
With its incredible porch + ceilings, this rambling Victorian totally won us over when we posted it on @cheapoldhouses! Its loving owner, Mandy, is bringing us along for the restoration ride @theswanvictorian
Bristol, CT
One of the sweetest "save" stories comes from Miguel + David, who had broken up and were living apart when Miguel saw this house on @cheapoldhouses. He wrote to David about it, because David had long admired this house. The couple got back together, bought the house, and are restoring it to its former glory! Follow them @hsbartholomewhouse
Logansport, IN
"Thank you for the post that changed my life", wrote Missie after she spotted her dream home for $73,900 on @cheapoldhouses, and became our very first "save" story! (and yes, we cried tears of joy.) Missie + her basset hound, Louie, are documenting the restoration of this incredible mansion over @louiesmomma_15
Akron, OH
Randy + Sandy of @orchardhouseakron snagged this charming Victorian that was featured on @cheapoldhouses, and are hard at work bringing the 1865 Orchard house—and it's killer staircase—back to its original glory.
Dayton, OH
With zero experience in restoration, first-time homebuyers Tung + Martha have taken on an incredibly beautiful (and incredibly large!) Victorian that was featured on @cheapoldhouses. They fell in love so quickly that they put in an offer before seeing it in person, and are documenting their journey @The.Minnie.Project
What are you waiting for… it is free!!!
We’re dreamers. We love old things. And we believe that you’re being sold the wrong American dream. Contrary to what everyone else says, you don’t actually need to buy a million dollar house and go into extreme debt to live a satisfying and beautiful life. But don’t just take our word for it—we’ve brought together hundreds of thousands of people who feel the same way, and who are masters at celebrating the beauty of cheap old houses.
Most real estate listings talk about beds, baths and basements. SNORE. We talk about crown molding, mantels and turrets. SO MUCH BETTER. We’ve got an eye for good listings, and the know-how and connections to find them. And each week, we package them up in a neat little bow and send them directly to you.

It started as an Instagram feed.
Then it snowballed into a mass movement.
Here are a few of our favorite media mentions.
