If Walls Could Talk- What Would YOUR Home Say?

 

The historic home market is back. Gen X’ers and Millennials are in love with homes that have history.

 

From big city Manhattan to small town Edwardsville, Il, home buyers are looking for something beyond the 6,000 sq ft suburban mansion or a modern penthouse development.

 

They want something more.

 

They want a story.
