I’m a board certified master home inspector. New construction is garbage. Look at the difference in density between a 1960’s hardwood 2x4 and a 2025 southern yellow pine 2X4. New homes are made of cardboard, plastic and shit wood. Built to last 20-25 years before major repairs are needed. Up through the early 1980’s homes were built to last 100 years before major repairs were necessary. The most solid foundation I ever inspected was made out of stacked rocks, built in the 1890’s. Fiat money makes fiat goods. Homes built during hard money times are durable homes. Give me an old house that needs repairs over a new construction any day.
