[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"People will one day look at the home and say... "Wow what a lovely home that a family cherished and grew their family in. And look! They have a wonderful outdoor space! Gosh, all of these terrible homes from the early 2000's have no green space. I really [b]wish people at that time hadn't built over sized monstrosities"[/b] 
Of course that will be decades from now, because it is their forever home- that they built to work for their family now."

You are joking and don't actually believe this, do you?  No one else does.

What? That tastes change? No that is a fact of life.[/quote]

Agreed.  PP here.  I was referring to the bold (trying not to copy a long, annoying post).

No one wants old houses now.  Why on earth would they want an old house years from now with someone else's idea of "nice" (dumpy)?

Depends on what you mean by old. Like ...
90's- yuck 
80's- not so much
70's- kinda depends
60's - maybe

50's and older - with good bones and healthy renovation budget hell yes!

Here is what most buyers like.
40s no way, ww2 lack of materials
50s ehhh, post ww2 tract home boom of bad homes
60s bleh
70s blah style terrible energey effeciencies
80s mediocre maybe be workable i
90s yes looking better modern code larger open floor plans
00s best of all [/quote]
Robust sales of older houses in upper NW DC and of older rowhouses all over the district disagree with you. [/quote]
