Ever since I was younger, I have always pictured myself living in Hinsdale. I’m now in a position where it could actually be possible, but I’m torn.

The homes that are more realistic for my budget are mostly older, and I’m worried about hidden costs, things like repairs, updates, maintenance, or issues that don’t show up right away. I’m also wondering if buying an older home could hurt resale value compared to newer or more updated homes in the area.

For anyone who has bought in Hinsdale or a similar suburb, was buying an older home worth it? What should I be looking out for before making that kind of decision?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks guys.
