Add-ons like downspouts are just another reason to purchase a pre-owned home. A new home buyer typically assumes that all houses come with downspouts. All the little extras add up to a lot of money. My advice is to look at pre-owned homes in established neighborhoods and compare them to the new homes in neighborhoods under construction.

Yes, downspouts are necessary to channel the rainwater away from the base of your house.
