Bought the wrong house, then. I bought my last house (the one I sold to buy this one) in 1992 and sold it for 3x as much in 2002, after spending maybe 50% of the purchase price on renovations etc., i.e. 100% appreciation in 10 years. The first room we had (re-)built in our current house (built c. 1600-1970) was the darkroom, converted from the old wine cellar.My house.
Depreciated like a digital camera.
Completely changed my photographic purchasing habits.
Cheers,
R.
