As tey say third times as charm, or three strikes and you are out.

The distance of moving and height of the house and corners and turns and utility lines and bridges all increase the moving costs.Unless it is a house with amazing historical significance or charm I don't really see the point much over building new.I looked at those houses in Atlanta 2 to 3 years ago and I just didn't like the product and areas.

It's very charming and metropolitan beyond its population.

@ Ned Carey, that's exactly how I found this post, works like a charm. 

A bungalow vs a 2 story, given the same neighborhood, sq ft, amenities, bedrooms, and baths can hypothetically be 125% higher in value just because of historic charm.   

I adore my adopted city - I love all the old housing stock, the charm, the lovely neighborhoods etc.

You may find yourself staying here longer each time though; Waco is a charming town!

Third times a charm.

I started to study the Kansas City market, and although I found the older neighborhoods charming (and dirt cheap), with their small town America feel and huge lots, many of the schools have terrible ratings, with the basic test scores in the pits, and bullying and disrespect for teachers rampant (tho that's pretty standard now). 

The value has doubled - and at some point in time, a charming house will make way for new construction townhouses - and a really big ROI.
