Before hiring a bulldozer to slam into your house and smash it into smithereens, consider hiring a consultant who can advise you if it makes financial sense to tear down the house. A house that may look like a total ruin to you might be salvageable. Fixing crumbling walls, sagging roofs or sloping foundations is not as expensive as you may imagine.
On the other hand, with even postage-stamped lots selling in some areas for more than $300,000, the land on which the home is situated might be worth more without a house that has outlived its useful life.
Check with your city building department to find out if the home you want to tear down is on a historical preservation list. In Midtown Sacramento, for example, Victorians cannot be destroyed, even if their foundations and wood components are decayed.
