Great read - Why new isn’t always better

Home Buyer: I want a house built after 1980.
Me: Actually, you don't.
Let me explain.

Newer isn't always better, and this picture sums it up pretty well. The quality of modern lumber is simply far inferior to the quality of lumber they were using to build homes in the early and mid-20th century. Wood quality began dropping on a serious scale in the 1980s due to old-growth timber being almost completely depleted.

Most wood used today is grown very fast - not only can you visibly see the difference in quality, but the newer lumber is more prone to rotting due to a lack of heartwood. Slow growth wood yields much more heartwood, which is the longest lasting part of the tree, whereas sap wood (new growth wood) will rot very quickly. Modern lumber is also a lot more prone to termite damage as it is softer and easier to consume whereas old lumber is extremely resinous and naturally termite resistant. A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build.

Clarification: Yes, these two pieces of lumber come from two different trees. The expert in the attached article is not comparing the lumber of the same tree over time. He is comparing the lumber that was commonly used to build houses 75 years ago versus the lumber commonly used to build houses today

Fair season is right around the corner!

Love these reminders!

I couldn’t be any happier for my buyer, CB. She dreamed of owning a home and didn’t let anything come in her way of crushing that dream. There were unexpected obstacles but she never lost sight of the finish line and today, she made that dream come true. I’m so proud of her perseverance and so thrilled for her as she moved in with big dreams and lots of plans to make it her own. Not only did she succeed but she also moved in with instant equity, a true rarity in this market. So proud and so happy for her. It has been a pleasure!

A special closing for a special family. Moving across the country is no small feat, especially with a young family, new job and a home sale to boot, but they crushed it. They set their dreams and did what it took and I couldn’t be any more thankful to have been a part of that journey. NS and AS, wishing you the very best as you create countless happy memories in your amazing new home…. You deserve it!
