We wrote a book for anyone who has ever dreamt of changing their life to rescue an old house. We’ve scoured the country to find homes in desperate need of saving—including a $45,000 Victorian in Mississippi, a $25,000 mansion in Indiana, an $82,000 recreational camp in Maine, and more. With hundreds of beautiful photographs capturing these homes in all their glory, you’ll be inspired to find “the one”—a fixer upper to rescue that will rescue you right back.
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
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
"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
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.
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
Jodie, Garrett + Watson the Pug first spotted their dream bungalow on @cheapoldhouses, and are slowly chipping away at the restoration of the home and its beautiful linoleum rugs. You can live vicariously through their journey at @mainstreethouse_
After spotting it on @cheapoldhouses, Mike left the glam life in Vegas to settle into his Victorian dreamhouse in New York's Finger Lakes region. The home is filled to the brim with Eastlake style details—he scored a gem!
Brittany + Dave are restoring a gorgeous, old Italianate house that sits on 20 acres and was featured on @cheapoldhouses. Follow along with their adventures (and hilarious stories!) at @rademacherrevival
Meet Ross, Jacob + Will, who are collectively restoring the Rockwell House-one of the grandest homes ever featured on @cheapoldhouses (and with the kind of staircase that dreams are made of). Follow their hard work and adventures at @rockwellhousega
Steve + Beverly are restoring this wonderful Victorian in Texas, which they bought after their son sent them the original posting on @cheapoldhouses. They’ve long been documenting their journey at @thehouseonavenueb

After spotting this house on @cheapoldhouses, Jessica fell head-over-heels in love. On 3.57 acres and with a swimming hole, it just happened to be right across the road from where she lived as a toddler! She snatched it up (for $70k!) and fixed it up. You can follow her journey @riverbottomcottage
This beautiful townhouse in the historic district of Wheeling, WV, was featured on @cheapoldhouses and later purchased by a preservation-minded buyer who is planning to restore it to its original glory. Follow along with her at @betsysweeny
This stunning yellow house was featured on @cheapoldhouses and is being restored by a wonderful family who are, in their own words, "tackling a Victorian-era fixer-upper on a Thatcher-era budget." Follow along with them @Blueearth_Yellowhouse_Redink
After it was shown on @cheapoldhouses (price: $62,500), Mary + Larry fell in love with this Italianate house, swept her up and named her Lexibelle. Their restoration adventures are all documented over at @lexibelle_restoration
Nick + Damien snagged one of the prettiest homes in New York after it was featured on @cheapoldhouses (check out that mansard roof!). They're allowing us to live vicariously through their adventures at @thekimblehouse
Michael + Natalie uprooted their lives in New Orleans to move across the country to save this house, which was featured on @cheapoldhouses. Follow along with them at @robins_nook
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 the magic of cheap old houses is not within us—it’s within the hundreds of thousands of people who feel the same way, and who have supported this idea from the very beginning.
There are scores of people who have bought these homes—who are showing the world the immense satisfaction that comes with taking your life in your own two hands, and restoring a little piece of history while doing it. This is the dream that lies within every single listing we find over on @cheapoldhouses. Thank you for being a part of the movement.
It started as an Instagram feed.
Then it snowballed into a mass movement.
Here are a few of our favorite media mentions.
(Aw, thanks Jezebel!)
