Have You Ever Gone Back?

Jackhound Mom · ‎03-09-2010

To a home you have sold? We did and it was depressing

deepwaterdotter · ‎03-09-2010

No, we still live in the only home we have ever bought (and own).

No but I went back to the house I grew up in once. It was sad for me. Not much good happened there for me.

After my Dad passed away and Mom moved to a memory care facility, I sold their home to a delightful young family. It needed some updating, and the sales price of course reflected that. They were most anxious to have me come see the updates that they made but I just couldn't do it. I'm sure it's beautifully done. I just want to keep my memories the way they were.

We did. The new owners ripped out all of the landscaping (azaleas, boxwoods) and replaced them with stones. The yard was a mess, nothing trimmed, and just sad.

Yes, and the house looked fine but the neighborhood was the same awful place I couldn't wait to leave.

Yes. It's always been a positive experience with the exception of one house and in that case, it was a mixture of anger and sadness. The new owners have trashed the place. All the money, all the time we spent for nothing. We took a loss on the house when we sold it but that was due to the housing crash that started in 2006 and we had to move so....there it is.

@deepwaterdotter. Same here. We have no plans to move after 35 years.

No, I haven't and I really have no interest in going back. When I'm out the door, it is somebody else who lives there and I am no longer attached to it. Usually thank goodness! LOL!!!

But no, I'm not sentimental over houses and such.

I have been back to a house that I lived in as a child.The driveway was a lot shorter then I remembered and the house looked a lot smaller.Isn't that strange how that goes?
