@RantingCanuck @frank houses were built to last for many years (centuries?), thus they were an investment. The quality of new homes is questionable (materials and workmanship) and few will be standing in 50 years, these are not an investment but rather only marking time.It appears as if the people currently wanting to buy a home are only interested in buying a fully updated house- not doing any renovations. Small towns and older homes have long term potential new ones don’t.
