I understand where you are coming from, but I attribute a lot of the house being a consumable good stems from the fact that houses are made so poorly now.

Toothpick houses:

Rushed job with no craftsmanship.

Generic and cookie cutter.

Bones are all cheap pine, which are providing incentive to ruin good forests by farming pine.

Bc of this we’re trying to save to build our own home out of large hempcrete blocks, and wood that is locally sourced and not just pine.

I just want my home to be sound and ecologically sensible and to be an appreciable equity would be a bonus.
