Stuck With a Hard-to-Sell House in Apple Valley?

A problem we see here

An early Orrin Thompson home in an estate

Your parents bought one of the early Apple Valley houses, and it still has much of its original kitchen, windows and wiring.

Developer Orrin Thompson drove the city's first neighborhoods starting in the mid-1950s, and some of those homes have had few updates since.

Once the estate has authority, we buy as-is, or Ryan lists it if the neighborhood will pay for the updates.
