Personally, I like older houses. They just outright have more character.
If the house was taken care of, it will stand the test of time.
My first house was built in 1927. Everything was good about it, except the refinish work the previous owner did. New plaster was cracking, etc...
I just bought a new house that was built in 1900.
It has tons of old world charm, its big, and is generally in great shape.
The last owners were in the house for 40+ years and took care of the little things as they came up. It has updated mechanical systems, new windows, and a new kitchen. What's not to like.
I know people who have bought brand new houses that sag, tilt, leak, and you name it, within the first 6 months.
My house house has a little sag here and there, but it 's 100+ years old!
I can only hope to be in as good a shape when I'm 100!
