Old bungalows rule!
When we bought our 1926 bungalow the building inspector told us the redwood was so old and dry the termites aren’t interested. Similar to your situation, a previous owner put fascia boards over the rafter ends and the new timbers got attacked. Also, I cut a hole through the roof for a vent when we added a bathroom. The roof timber was over an inch thick, like real 1x8 redwood, and so hard the sawzall blade was burning. I kept the round piece. It’s harder than a hockey puck. You cannot dig your finger nail into it. And all the wood studs were actual 2x3 clear redwood.
A The wife loves those old ones , a 1910 Joisy Shore money pit . The shakes were on firing strips . Stripping the horse hair plaster inside I found wainscoating as the backing .

I just watched some Youtubes from Huntington Cliffs. The wave looks so nice 
But then I checked the price for a house there...$1.5mill?! Where do people get that kind of money? The dream got crushed real quick

I saw the first listing in my neighborhood with an 8 in front of it since 2020.
I can only hope there is some traction to this trend, but I'm not very optimistic.

The ocean was really loud today. Woke me up and I'm a mile from it as crow flies.
I love coastal NC and building your own home.

Dunno.
I'm just a dumb construction guy.
I have 1 more house left in me to go mortgage free.
Anyone heard of, or tried, this house swapping thing that's out now?
Apparently there are Realtors now who do not sell homes anymore, just put two people together to gift their houses to each other for a fair trade, then any differences are settled in crypto?

the usual new floors, counters and paint with good staging.
appears things are heating up again. folks are banking on those rate cuts…
Also when the market is up… cash is on hand.
I’m thinking some folks don’t want all that cash tied into another market dip if the rate forecasts don’t pan out as priced in.
