Kind of. A house built in, say, 2024 would have to be quite significantly less costly before I’d consider it over a house from, say, ~30 years ago. Construction is making a terrible name for itself. I am far from alone in this mentality.
Sure, but the market will/would equilibrate to a price differential for new vs. old stock. What that differential is ( and how it matches to your personal valuation) is irrelevant to the net validation decrease.
It really depends on the area and builders and buyers - around here 30 years puts you right into the last building boom, so the average house from then isn’t necessarily well build, and is much worse from an energy/HVAC viewpoint.
