Stop Fetishizing Old Homes
"Whatever your aesthetic preferences, new construction is better on nearly every conceivable measure."
For sure the author is correct regarding HVAC and insulation benefits of newer homes. But I wonder how overall build quality is, in comparison. A co-worker of mine had purchased a newer home (about 4 years old) and had issues with pipes freezing and other problems. My semi-detached is about 57 years old, and we never had any issues.
Though I highly doubt anyone with fetish our home...LOL
