To this point: TV's a captive audience when it comes to contractors - you don't get to pick and choose when it comes to building a house. It's all dictated by the developer and the general contractors they use. Construction materials have evolved over the years - ex. some houses that were built in the past have single pane windows whereas the newer the place, the more likely it will have double pane glass. Re: Desireability. "Beauty's in the eye of the beholder" with that one. For instance, some prefer a house that has CBS (concrete block and stucco) exterior walls (or one that has poured walls) versus one that's stick-built with vinyl siding. Some prefer new construction over resale. It pretty much just comes down to personal preference.
