It's not "old fashioned", honey. It's respectable and upright. Beautiful home & you're so awesome!!

Need more young people like you in our country!

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.

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.

God bless you for "being a little old fashioned." Girl you're doing things right! The Lord will bless your decision!

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.

Those smaller closets look to be lined with pressed cedar. Might want to check before ripping them out and putting in boarded cedar.

Don't ever apologize for old fashioned christian values! Your heart is in the right place!!!

Beautiful home! As a believer, I appreciate your standards. God bless you and your boyfriend.

Keep the gas! Its soooo much better than electric

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.❤

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 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 was very happy to hear that you are “Old Fashioned”. 🙂

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. 💝

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!!.

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!

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. 💙

Yes‼️ The old washing machines work so much better than the new ones! We bought a washer and dryer for $200 together when we got married. They had been repaired by a friend of the family and sold. We got several years of use out of them despite them being very used, broken and repaired to be sold to 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.

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.

This place is beautiful! I especially like the yard. Give God the Glory and be blessed.

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

Wow! Your place is beautiful. So peaceful. And I love the decks and the wood ceilings! Glad you're still close to your Mom and Dad🥰🎊

God grant you many blessed and happy years!

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!

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.

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.

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 😊

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. ❤️

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.

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 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!!!

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 !

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 🙏

Very nice, Corie! You'll be very happy there. Blessings to your new home so it may bring harmony, love and peace.

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!

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 .

I live in Southern Oregon. We bought our house 7.5 years ago and it has nearly doubled in value since we bought! I don’t know how anyone buys now. It is just a 3/2 on an acre and 1900 square feet. The value now is almost $600,000!!!

You can put metal slide out shelves in pantry. That way you will be able to see what's in the back of it!

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 !

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!

I live in Southern California and the housing market is crazy here as well (usually is) but more so now. Houses are selling for $100k+ more than the asking price because people are bidding against each other to get houses and many of them are buying before ever even seeing the property. Craziness!

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. ☺️

So happy for you Corrie. You deserve happiness. The house 🏠 is awesome. God Bless you 🙏 both.

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

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!

As an old fashioned lady myself, I think your way of approaching this big step in life is on point! Congratulations on your new home!❤🙏

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.

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 💕!!

Cute house. Just two things I noticed: In the basement, it looks like there are water stains on and around the crawl space door and wall. Also and for security reasons, I'd recommend changing the basement exterior door or at least the "deadbolt" lock to a double-key deadlock with the key far enough away. With the glass, someone could break one pane, reach in and unlock the deadbolt! God bless your new home. Up North (here in NJ) we have natural gas service (underground) and I find that it cooks better than an electric stove! Not sure about propane heating. By the way, not knowing the amount of land...a house here would sell for over $600,00! at least!

Very nice thanks for the tour!

Congratulations! Very nice home. That house will be particularly beautiful in the fall and at Christmas time. 😊

The little bird is called a Carolina Wren. The stone fireplace is really nice. Beautiful place. Congratulations.

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 💯.

Loved the video! So happy for you both 😊

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 love your new home! Congratulations!!!!!

Beautiful home!!! Congratulations!!!

awesome! Keep up the great job

Sweet little 1st home!--Great job guys

Oh I'm so very happy for you and Austin!!! Your home is gorgeous!!!

Congratulations to y’all!

So happy for you both!

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 a lovely home. Many blessings on your future there. Looks like there will be a lot of painting

Congratulations! Very nice!

Love it!! Congrats and enjoy!!

Beautiful house! Lovely yard greenery. I'm really happy for you and Austin ❤️🙏🏻🕊️

Congratulations! Wishing y’all every happiness!

Love the house .. can't wait to see the updates !!!

Love the house! precious :) housing market is nuts everywhere.... love yalls channel and music.. thanks for sharing !

Congratulations, your home is very nice and cosy looking, enjoy.

Austin = luckiest man in the world. Congratulations on the new home! So many wonderful opportunities ahead of you.

Love the cabinets

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!

Congratulations 🎊 Good things come to good people. Many blessings to you and your family.

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!

Like the sound of a screen door.Brings back memories of before air-conditioning.

P.s. I left a comment after first seeing this video. But I forgot something, the little bird on your deck had something in his beak and it looked like some kind of nest building material. I've seen this little bird here where I live. It's a Carolina Wren. He's a tiny bird but he has a tremendous song. They build in very small place out of the weather when possible. I thought it was very appropriate for a "Carolina Wren" to be building his home on or near " YOUR NEW HOME " Just a thought! Jeri Whittaker

Congratulations on a beautiful home !

Congratulations appreciate y'all

Enjoyed very much

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!

Well done. Love the kitchen, feels warm. House looks like it has been looked after.

Osiyo. If there were more young people like you folks. This would be a whole much better world. Shalom .

Beautiful home! And blueberries and blackberries! And a porch swing!

I'm happy for you congratulations on your new home and engagement ❤️I'm also scared of gas, but it can come in handy due to bad weather, so many possibilities for the house maybe as time goes on you will figure it out or get more tips, for decorating and such 😊

Congratulations on your new home!

Such a beautiful beautiful home!!! Love it!

Congratulations!! So happy for you!

Your parents raised you right and that's a Blessing! Congratulations and God Bless!

Wow! What a beautiful, beautiful home! I love it! Congratulations 🎈🎉 I love the fire place and the decks too. Beautiful!

BEAUTIFUL!

That is a nice home. Love the fireplace!

I just found this channel and this family is so very wholesome. Already checking out Etsy!

Adorable house and those porches and VIEWS!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Bless you and Austin 💘

I’m new to your channel. You’ve got a beautiful new home. Best wishes for a long and happy future there. I really like the living room and the balconies off the bedrooms. Housing here is the same. We live in a small town and houses rent and sell as fast as they’re listed. It’ll be fun watching you guys fix up your house . It’s an exciting time when you buy your first home.
