Online sales have exceeded retail sales at a number of well-known retailers already.

That brick home is very nice. Probably go for over $500,000 in a major market and $250,000+ in a average suburb

We own 2 acres on the big island, Hawaii. At one time was going to build on it and retire there. Kit homes are huge in the area and I looked at a ton of them. Now by the time they’re finished there as much as a regular built home. Sad.

Some real nice homes. I built a kit house in CT 18 years ago. Took us two years but it was worth it. Had 50% equity one year after we got the C of O.

Another article said - “Between 1908-1940, Sears sold 110,000 homes in about 370 different styles.”

I just want to say, in presenting this to you, that you've really exceeded our expectations. Congratulations.

Sears is the worst managed retail company I’ve ever set foot in.
They will soon crumble up and die as they fail to deliver on any reasonable expectation of service.

That looks like one of those old house designs with oversized porches that could be reclaimed for extra bedrooms as needed.
As the family grew...the porch got smaller :-)

Yup, nowadays most new flooring is “look alike” laminate.

I remember my dad riding the trains as postal clerk. He carried a pistol. I thought that was cool.
Then he spent a few years sorting mail in a bus-like truck. It was akin to the rail cars, but on a bus platform.

Cool, 4 rooms upstairs and 4 rooms downstairs?
Probably remodeled several times?

There’s one of those in Gentry AR? Or somewhere around that area. It was for sale and cousin and I went to look at it a couple of years ago.
