Could it be the builder is using more "cost effective" materials when building now?? I did see some cottage style homes where the bathrooms appeared cheaply made. Just like food prices, prices go up, the quanity went down. What used to be a box of cereal for $2.99 is now 1/2 a box of cereal for $3.50. It would NOt surprise me if the quality of workmanship is poorer as the population has grown and they probably just want to build out and get it over with. I know my style home changed through the years When I bought you got Three windows in kitchen, then they went to two windows in kitchen, from a cathedral ceiling to a regular low ceiling. I would agree the homes have changed. Resales are probably doing very well considering you could find something nice in a great location for a lower bond.
