[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a combination of jealousy and the reality that new builds tend to reflect what is most on trend at that moment so they will likely be out of style in a few years. Older homes that have been well maintained are usually pretty timeless - think colonials, craftsman, etc. Even older ranch style houses have their fans (not me!). The new McMansion craftsman homes just scream 2005-2015 to me. [/quote] I don't think the older homes are "timeless," since so many of them get torn down. They are what's primarily available in certain areas and price ranges, and people buy them with a mix of emotions. Sometimes they like the older construction and sometimes they are resigned to the fact that it's all they can afford and they'll have to put up with less space and fewer amenities. They are just as dated in their own way as split-levels, big colonials from the 1990s and the current Craftman-style houses. [/quote]
