I know it’s still cheaper but don’t forget to factor in labor cost to build it. That being said it would be interesting to see what the differential is.
It's 104 years old. It should be near needing to be demolished.
Tell me you’re from the US without telling me you’re from the US. In Europe a 100 year old house isn’t uncommon and isn’t even close to needing to be demolished.
You're not wrong, but the houses you're referencing probably weren't prefab.
Yeah, 60-80 years is average for the survival of a wooden framed house if it is taken care of. Yes some will last till 200, but for every 1 that does, hundreds have been torn down.
