I absolutely love pre-1800 homes and am exploring a few ideas on how to help preserve and promote them. The main thing I'm working on to that effect is https://homelore.org

It's like a carfax but for your home, although the intention is more to create an interesting historical narrative that inspires people to care about the history of their home rather than as a tool for inspecting home issues before buying.

My target customer is realtors who want to inspire buyers to take on historic homes that may need a lot of work. Also home owners themselves of course.

This looks great and I'll probably order a report. A couple of small suggestions. First, the price is very reasonable, but I think you should be more open about what it costs -- maybe on the home page or at least the Order Report page. Second, I think you should tell what areas of the country (world?) that you can provide reports for, again on the main page would be great.

I agree on both points, thanks for the feedback.

“Like carfax but for your home” is a really interesting idea. So many homes are bought with little-to-no history beyond an inspection of questionable thoroughness.

If this became the norm, somehow, it would be a really helpful tool for both buyers and sellers.
