In today’s eighth episode of my series where I discuss various topics related to the housing industry, I sat down once again with agent and builder Chris Haggerty to discuss the aging housing population. By that, I don’t mean senior citizens in the housing market—I literally mean houses that are becoming outdated with the passage of time. How have home styles changed over the years? Which renovation projects are worthwhile in terms of the return they’ll bring? Which ones are essential? We’ll cover these topics and more.
