^ People are afraid of special assessments and other issues with older buildings. However, if you do your homework, older buildings can be solid. In my experience, many buildings built in the last 10 years are mediocre. The margins for builders have been thin for some time (because land here is so expensive), so corners are being cut underneath the surface.

I also blame the frenzy on the Pinterest/HGTV effect. Older buildings will not have open concept layouts or floor-to-ceiling windows. They won't have stone countertops, Kohler sinks or stainless steel appliances either.
