*woosh*
but yea in general people need to get over this fetishization of new construction, or the notion that if its not a complete gut job with all the newest finishes (which are trendy for precisely 1-2 years) its somehow not a serviceable home. we bought a workers cottage in LV a few years back for 50k. yes the bedrooms are tiny and the cabinets are from the 50s. they still seem to hold our dinner plates just fine and kinda seems worth it when the mortgage is paid off in our 30s.
