Bless your heart. It's so great to know that you are old fashioned. There's nothing wrong with that! I love your house. My daughter and I just bought a house in Hiawassee Ga and we were like you when we bought it. There was nothing. I really prayed about it and it just came together after that. This month is a year that we moved in and we love it. Congratulations.
It’s so refreshing to see a young lady, such as you, with a sweet spirit and godly principles. When you honor God, He will bless your life. It’s apparent you were brought up in a Christian home. Wishing you God’s best in your marriage, your music and your life.
Just a thought on the gas stuff: when we have storms and snow and such, you can still cook and have heat without having to worry about electricity. I'm not saying don't do what you want, but its nice to have warm food when you're freezing from the power being out! :D It's a beautiful house Corie! Glad you're not far away from your Mom.
@@thepressleygirls well, if for anything you can keep the tank and a line to a gas grill for Austin! :D again, it's beautiful. Also, the housing market here in Blue Ridge is outrageous. We got a modular home made for a quarter of the coat of what it would have been to buy a home of comparable size (1800 sq ft, 4 bed, 4 bath). We were blessed by Mom giving us a little land, but even if we had to have gotten the land, we still would have been out cheaper than a traditional home.
Really like the house. Great view. Can’t tell you not to use gas but over all gas is great to have in bad weather. Especially if u have small children and the need warm food or to be kept warm. Nice thing to have is gas burners and electric oven. I was scared of gas for the longest time. But found it very helpful.
@@thepressleygirls Echoing what others are saying about gas. And there's a reason they say "now we're cookin' with gas"! So nice for cooking compared to electric.
As someone who grew up in the country but currently lives in a large city for my job, I'm super jealous of all the trees around your house and the privacy you have from any neighbors. Hopefully someday I can retire and buy a house in the country on some wooded land like you have now.
I would consider keeping all the gas appliances/heat. If you ever lose power you have another heat source and able to cook. Having those things might be a hint into what weather is like there in the winter. 😉
I would love to have a gas stove! There's nothing nicer than to have infinite control of the heat (thinking of sauces). Congratulations on your new home. It's really nice!
Houses around Clarksville Tn. Are selling like hotcakes Lol we bought are home 16 years ago for 160.000 and it has sky rocketed to 320.000 which is crazy. That’s a very nice house y’all have there love the back porch’s and wood ceiling’s and the views are Beautiful!
@@garys1665 The Great Reset. CCP owned Black Rock is buying up entire subdivisions all over America. They want people to be renters and not own. Then your social credit score determines if you are "allowed" to be rented to. Look into Black Rock executives in Bidens Cabinet. It's ALLLLLL by design. It's happening in the UK too.
You're not being old fashioned by waiting to be married before you live together. That's called "Your parents raised you right". I really like your house. I would make the basement a recording studio.
My daughter is 30 and she isn’t married. She has dated a few losers unfortunately. But she says she will not live with a man until marriage. Her Grandmother instilled this into her thank goodness. One bit of advice. Better to be with nobody than the wrong body. Love y’all and especially your music.
You’re going to love that Fireplace in a chilly night and the aroma of wood burning, plus you can sit in the room with a good book or someone special to cuddle with
I LOVE your new home! It’s positively lovely. May I suggest you reconsider eliminating the propane? It’s super nice to still be able to cook and heat water on a gas stove during ice storms. It’s really excellent for you to have three energy sources with the wood burning fireplace, gas stove, and electric heaters. 💙
@@thepressleygirls I agree--you should give it a try before ditching all of it. Just get CO2 monitors. We have friends who recently put in a propane tank so that they could install a backup generator for their house and would never lose power. Another one just wanted a gas cooking stove because she hated electric. The house looks great--I think you'll love it!
@@thepressleygirls I remember one winter when I worked for the Forest Service, the power to our mfg home was out for "two weeks" Thank you Jesus we had enough propane to keep us warm. We did our cooking on an old wood burning stove to save on propane. I'm glad we had both.
The market is crazy allover!...You may want to reconsider getting rid of the gas....keep it for backup heat if the power goes out! We lived near Franklin for awhile and loosing power in the winter was a normal thing! Love the house!
You may want to consider keeping the gas cooking stove. Cooking with cast iron you don't have to worry nearly as much about overheating and you can use pans with wobble and heat rings. Gas to cook with goes a long way.
@@thepressleygirls Remember with a regular fireplace without an insert allows the warm air inside the house to be drawn up through the chimney - actually making your home colder. The outside air to replace the warm air drawing up the chimney of course is colder and then it will feel colder. Please keep the propane for backup. You can always purchase your own propane tank and then call around for prices and fill it up with the best deal. And always call for your fill up in the summertime - the prices will be at their lowest. We usually call three places and let them know that we own our own tank and are getting the best prices ; )
Beautiful home! Congratulations! I do agree with some of the comments about the gas stove. We took ours out and put it under our back deck and use it occasionally for canning or cooking. We have a huge cast iron wood heater we use for heat and cooking in the winter.
I am writing from southeast Missouri and am told that the housing market is equally crazy here. Purchasers are offering $10,000 over asking price 😳! Your home is absolutely LOVELY. With all the beautiful surrounding wooded area, I think I would feel as if I were living in a tree house 🤗! Recently viewed your wedding video...just precious! I too am a twin and was so touched by your sisters emotions during your wedding...I get it! Wishing you and Mr. Austin all the best life has to offer. 💝
I just ran across the Presley family on this old phone I love the way y'all gab at one another I haven't heard Southern speech in a very long time my family grew up with bluegrass and playing instruments really glad to see you the younger people playing and taking interest an instrument my musical talent is turning the knob on my radio and occasionally whacking on it when it don't play right y'all keep up the good music and I love the way mamas talks to y'all y'all have brought a tear to my eye reminding me of family that's been gone quite a while God bless you
I was a little worried at first because I didn't think you guys were married but when you explained my heart was really lifted that you are doing this the right way! The house is beautiful. Remember, asking for guidance is never the wrong thing to do. And when all is asked and done God has not given us a spirit of fear. Blessings for your house!
Yes! Praying about a purchase like this and putting it in God’s hands and then trusting Him with it is all you need to do - He works out the details if it is meant to be. So happy you’re waiting until marriage to move in and especially proud of you for saying it online as there’s a lot of faith-based kids like y’all, lots of you! (we have 4!), but not enough speak up about it so y’all feel like you’re alone. You’re not. ❤️
What a beautiful testimony of God's love and faithfulness! Bountiful and Boundless Blessings to you Corie, and Austin! You are such a beautiful young lady and I know how proud your family must be of you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, and yes we know how crazy the housing market is because we're trying to do the same thing. We pray the same prayer, and know that God is at the helm, so He will guide us to the right one in His timing. He wants good things for His children. So, keep praying HIs promises and you will never go wrong, With God ALL things are possible.❤
That deck is worth it all. The cabinets are fixed with just a coat of paint. Congrats - this house looks like a home. The yard, surrounding woods and deck are just incredible!!.
I don't know where you are at, but what a beautiful home. God has truly blessed you both. Praise the Lord 🙏🌹💖 I currently live in a 750 square foot home, which is only 3bedrooms/1bathroom in California. There's 6 of in this house & we're blessed to be in it. It's paid for which is a blessing 🙏
Your house is beautiful, I love it and the woods around you.. Don't worry you are not old fashioned getting married first, you are doing it exactly the right way which is the Lords way ...congratulations to you both 😊
Your faith in the Lord is refreshing and will serve you well . We too met online & he moved from another region ,lived with friends until after we got married. Many blessings will occur on those porches/decks ! Like that screen door too,the sound of it even !
Congratulations to you both! Beautiful home. I grew up in eastern Kentucky myself, and that’s a beautiful layout for those mountain plots of land. One thing I’d love to recommend after 32 years of marriage. Have a backup plan during the major weather storms from Mother Nature (winter) in KY. Keep the gas appliances and heating hooked up. You can always cook and heat the family while those rural areas stay out of electrical service for weeks on end.
Ms Pressly, I stumbled across y’all’s channel yesterday and instantly fell in love with y’all’s family. Kind, gentle and hard working people. I look forward to to watching you and your fiancé turning you house into a home. You asked for suggestions, so I’ll pass one on to you. My father always gathered his family (8 of us) around the dinner table for supper. It was there that we kids learned how to pray, argue, forgive, communicate, listen, cry, love, respect etc etc….. For me, memories of our times at the dinner table are so valuable to me. Truly, my dinner table experiences are…..My Cathedral in Life. Steven
This house is lovely! I especially like the two porches/decks. It's really three layers, what with the space under the main floor deck. That walkway from the road looks super helpful. It will make moving furniture into the house much easier. Congratulations.
The housing market is crazy in western Colorado. Average time on market is just 2 days and many are asking for sealed bids and highest bidder gets the property. Your house is wonderful, Congratulations
I am so happy for you both ! So thankful you have prayed about this and all the things you have considered . The house is beautiful and it just seems right for you ! I really like your covered decks and the walk way to the house . Everything seems so handy . The flowers are beautiful ! I might add also - - and I did see where someone else commented , you may want to reconsider getting rid of the gas. We have a gas range and love it. Cooks much faster than electric . Also if you have some gas heaters , they are so great when the power goes off . We have 2 . Now they don’t heat our whole house but it is great to be able to stay warm if you are snowed in or iced in . A lot of times you can live without electricity but you need to have a way to cook and stay warm . Just something to think about . It will be your beautiful home so do what you feel comfortable with . Love you and Congratulations and Best Wishes on your upcoming marriage . So very proud of you ! Thankful you could find a house not too far from your home ! Isn’t God good ! I know you all are excited !
We will probably keep a 100 gallon bottle in case it does go out. And since we’re close to Mom and Dad we could bum off them 😂. Thank you and I hope you guys are well we love y’all! ❤️🤠🙏💕
Congratulations on the purchase of your first home! Such a beautiful home on a gracious and lovely lot. LOVE the decks as well. 🥰 A Georgia fan and new subscriber. ☺️
I'm so happy for you and Austin, Corie. This is an exciting time in your lives. So much to look forward to. It's very evident to your viewers that you are very family oriented, so it's great that you were able to find a house near them. Best wishes to you both!
So happy for you & Austin. Beautiful home & beautiful setting. You are right, when you allow God to lead you - there is no need to worry. Enjoy you and your family so much.
Corie, it's a beautiful house, it's a perfect house for you and Austin! I love everything about it, even the red kitchen cabinets. Why don't you leave them for a while and see if you can come to love them...just a thought! Congratulations to you and Austin!
Congrats! My new wife (Judy) and I married 5.20.21, are closing on our new home in two weeks. And YES, the housing market here in Catawba County (Conover) is crazy! Just as you described, on and off the market in hours. We too both being 60, planned to rent, but was not going to pay someone else's mortgage! From what we are seeing, it is this way nation wide. Again Congrats to you and Austin. Yours and Katie's videos have brought us lots of enjoyment. We would love to meet you two some day.
How fun it would be if we could meet! Also congrats on being married!! And indeed renting is just insane when it costs so much. I mean the home isn’t even yours! Thanks for being with us on this journey!
I just became aware of your channel a few weeks ago so I am late to your new house party but let me say that your home is gorgeous! I have seen a couple of your recent videos of the home such as when you had the home painted, the new mantel, and decorating for Christmas, so it is wonderful to see your journey from when you and Austin first acquired your home. Expect many more comments from me as I work my way through all of your past videos. It may take awhile. 😂 I think the little bird you saw was a Carolina Wren. ❤
I’m so happy for y’all and I’m very glad you won’t be to far away from your roots! I hope we see a video of a family celebration on that beautiful porch with good old mountain music! I’m already seeing Katie playing her fiddle while Austin and maybe your dad manning the grill and mom prepping all the side dishes you putting out the sweets. No matter what I’m praying God truly blesses this house until it’s your home sweet home!
You give us hope that there are still young people who respect themselves and others and are committed to living their lives with faith and dignity. God Bless you.
The housing market is crazy everywhere! You are so fortunate to find something you could afford, that it is in a nice area and close to your family and that you prayed about it for God’s will to be done… and that Austin was agreeable on the buying of the house. Congratulations 💕!!
Your new home is beautiful! Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, houses are going very fast, and there are bidding wars going on. It’s amazing. The demand for housing has just tripled. I’m glad you two were able to get in this charming little house in the woods! Walking out on the decks is like being in a magic forest. You guys will have so much fun with your family and friends in those decks. Let the good times roll!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
It's been a year since this video was made... I hope that y'all are enjoying good times in fellowship, blessed in friendships and growing relationships with fruitful seeds scattered throughout your days. 🙏🕊
I live in BC Canada. House prices, rentals have been really high for the last few years. My favorite part is the swing on the porch. ❤ I pray one day I have a porch with a swing. God bless you in your new home.🎉 I enjoy your RU-vid videos. 💕
Thank you for this video! I love several things about it. #1 - Love that you let the Lord lead you in all this! #2 - Love that you are keeping it right and proper between you and Austin. #3 - Love your new home! It was an honor to see your new place and I have to say it is 1000% beautiful there. Please keep sharing. You and your sister are sweet and charming. Thank you again! Love, peace and blessings to you all. 🙏🏻😊💖
Blueberry bushes AND blackberry brambles??? I'm jealous! Only surprise plant I have at my new place was a small clump of iris back on the alley. Congrats!
Yes, girl, you do you! Live your best life and don't worry about answering to anybody! I love y'alls and your mama's videos. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Just sold our second home that we had for 13yrs. In less than a week it was sold again for $90,000 more than we sold it for. It was in the Smokey Mtns. on the park boundary and back side of Cades Cove. I loved it but it just got more than we could manage through the pandemic and some health issues. I miss it everyday. I'm a mountain girl and still live in the mountains of KY. The housing market is out of control in TN and KY. People are leaving the cities and trying to find a better place. It's crazy. I so happy y'all got a beautiful place and I hope you enjoy every day you are there. You have a great place to film and play your music. I miss that the most about my TN porch. I had those wooden ceilings in my bedroom and on the floor and walls. It makes great music.
I sugggest that you keep your gas appliances , they really come in handy when the power grid goes down ! And gas cooks so much better than electric . I luv your new place. I do agree on the cabinets though , whew that's a bunch of red .
1] housing market in South New Jersey/Philadelphia area is also insane. Was viewing a mobile home (trailer) on line. Was offered in 2017 for $20,000 but no takers. Now $98,000!! PS I agree w/ others about keeping the gas, especially if your area is prone to bad weather & power outages.
Housing is crazy here in AZ, too. So many people moving here from California! Like you said, Sight Unseen! We sold our house and are living in a camper. We want to travel and hopefully come back home, east TN/western NC (Robbinsville) where we grew up. God bless you and your wedding! Good girl! 💒
I live in California. My parents are from Missouri and Ohio. But for a city girl I was raised pretty much the same. ( without the beautiful mountains.) but I just love listening to you and your mom. Reminds me of home🥰 Keep up the awesome videos 😘
Franklin, Tennessee here. Nashville housing market is on another level insane lol! Folks are waking up to peoples houses asking to buy, cash. My friends just sold their house this way. What an awesome chapter! ✌🏽
You found a great house. Love the wide decks. I can imagine having morning coffee on the upstairs one, or at least stepping out to see what the weather's like before you get dressed. Love the porch swing, the fireplace, the beadboard, the wood ceilings, the yard...I even like the red cabinets. But my favorite part is the sound of the spring on the screen door; that takes me back. I think you're wise to buy a house. Every bit you pay on the principle is yours. I'd suggest paying a little extra on the principle each month if you can, even if it's just a few dollars. Yes, here in SoCal housing costs are crazy. On my street of 65-year-old tract homes a 1365 sq. ft. fixer upper just sold as is for $850,000, and that's below market. May you and Austin be very happy in your house for many years.
I live in San Diego, CA and the housing market is crazy here!!! It’s funny because I thought it was because I was here but from what you said and the comments it’s like that everywhere!! People are buying houses cash (mind you the average price of a home here is 600,000-1 million) and they’re paying cash!!! Also, some people are bidding 50,000 over asking price and it’s just crazy!!!
Congratulations! So exciting! My favorite part of the house are the decks! Proud of you both for doing things God's way, He will continue to bless you..
It is so refreshing to see a young lady who follows and lives out her Christian moral- God Bless you Corie- Don't ever be afraid to follow the Lord- we need more of that. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. When is the blessed event?
Yep, I’m up here in the Blue Ridge Mts. Of VA & the housing market has been insane. My fiancé & I just bought a house, too, & like y’all, he’s moving in first as we work on things until September when we get married, & then I’ll move in. Also like y’all, our new house is only a few minutes from my family home, which I’m really excited about! Congratulations on your new home!
Congratulations on your new home Corie!! Consider yourself very lucky to be able to buy a house in this market. Prices are crazy high all over. I live 1 hour NW of New York City (the Appalachian Trail is located on the mountain right in front of my house!) and the prices for house have skyrocketed!! Due to the pandemic and people working from home, lots of wealthy residents of NYC are buying second homes up here to get away and have more space when they need it. This is pushing prices way up! People are offering $100K over asking price in cash just to acquire a home.
The growth shown by your maturity is a natural extension of your commonsense mindset and more importantly your spiritual upbringing the support of your family is evident by your “old fashion idealism “approach which is truly important for a healthier relationship such a beautiful commitment to new home and happiness is a huge and humbling step forward blessing
Did you see all the water damage on the basement walls? You might not want to get rid of gas stoves ,you will need them in winter being you just have electric heat, and an open fire place. Just think about. Good luck with your new home, nice place.
We built a house this year because of the housing market. It’s a really good market to sell in, no so much to buy in. We live in the Fort Bragg area and YES- houses getting sold 2 hours after going on the market 💯.
Congratulations! It’s a wonderful home! I would love to have a gas stove- lol! Many times our gas stove provided heat during storms when electricity went out for many days. Btw, you’re bird girl statue is from “Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil.” Blessings to you!
Hi Corie and Austin. I love the pretty house y'all bought. It has so much potential. My favorite things about it are the exterior paint color, stone fireplace with wooden mantel, the porch swing on the deck, and the adorable garden statue. What a nice yard, too. Best wishes to you both as you turn the page to this next chapter in your young lives. The current housing market in southwest Florida is crazy, too. Rent is sky-high for apts. as well as houses, and the few homes for sale are going like hot cakes in a bakery.
@@thepressleygirls Yes, I agree that y'all are very blessed to get such a lovely house. It appears well-maintained. I thought about something you might wish to consider: Years ago in Georgia a neighbor couple bought a house with BURGUNDY kitchen cabinets. They decided to whitewash over the dark red with a special whitewash paint which allowed some of the burgundy to bleed through, and the result was so unique and beautiful that even now, 25 years later, I recall how much everyone seemed to love, admire, and talk about those stunning cabinets. They were different and not the least bit boring or just like all other kitchen cabinets. Perhaps ask a painter about doing something like that to the red cabinets you're not very fond of.
