Millennials are snatching up ‘cheap old houses’ via Instagram

After Buffalo, New York, couple Nick Weith and Damian Mordecai spotted a grand Victorian-style home on a popular Instagram account called Cheap Old Houses, they drove an hour south to a village called Gowanda (population 2,700) to tour the historic property.

Initially, Mordecai, a 39-year-old nonprofit executive, was less enthused about the idea of living so far outside the city. But the pair was drawn to the property s stately brick façade, dramatic slate tile mansard roof and widow s peak tower. By the time they got back in the car, Mordecai was sold. We have to buy it, he said to Weith, a 26-year-old educator.
