For my money, I'm buying a well sorted older home. Best of both worlds.
Yeah I mean in many cases with an older home, what you're really buying is the property, or the neighborhood / area. If you are lucky enough to find and buy a nice house that's actually well sorted and cared for on it, that's the best case scenario.
I think we're spoiled in Seattle in that most houses are 40-90 years old and have been sorted in the last five years. We got lucky and found a house that was like 20% sorted, because we wouldn't have been able to afford the neighborhood otherwise. We've probably brought it up to 70% sorted and it's actually cheaper now to buy an even more sorted house than to continue doing ours. It's like climbing the reno ladder.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
