Old Homes Pros: Tend to be in better locations closer to amenities and main attractions, more likely to be walkable, often have larger lots, houses and surrounding area have more "character", sometimes they have features like old growth wood and other elements that add value and longevity, no HOAs; Cons: Near endless potential for expensive issues of every type because of the impacts of time, neglect and old building materials and methods, require more work and money to make them modern and appealing, can be tricky to financeNew Homes Pros: Far less maintenance and potential for issues and may still be under the builder warranty if issues do come up, modern design elements and fixtures, often in good well-funded school districts; Cons: Homes and neighbrorhoods have a manufactured feel and less character, lots tend to be smaller because developers want to pack in as many units as possible (especially in high $$$ markets), tend to not be walkable because the areas adjacent to the best attractions/amenities have been built on already, sometimes built with low end materials, HOAs restricting what you are allowed to do to your property 

Longevity goes a long way in this business.
