I'd prefer an older house just because they have so much character... however new houses can be really awesome too. What about you?

A New House.

Right now ... since I've been doing my own renovations for so long (Tiling the Floors, putting down Hardwood Flooring in the Bedroom, replacing toilets/faucets/sinks, Installing REAL WOOD Mouldings ... Building new Furniture, changing light fixtures (where the bulbs can be changed easily -- in other words, bulbs point downwards!), etc ...
And seeing the LACK of quality in NEW Construction ... the cheap (not real wood) cabinets, the horrible carpeting, the tiling that is not squared, the windows that leak, caulking that is done improperly, cheap manufactured mouldings (plastic!), and all the other problems ..
I will CHOOSE my "Old" Home over a "NEW" one ANY DAY ... because ... it survived the Hurricanes that came through my area in 2004-2005 (several) ... and is solidly built.
(And I HATE having to try to endure life in a cookie-cutter home).

New houses are better.
- More energy efficient
- Safer electrical wiring
- Good plumbing
That said, location is more important than whether the house is old or new. Most old houses are in better locations and nice new houses are out in the boonies or in the middle of Generica.

I would have to say new house, just because I'm not a good handyman and probably couldn't deal with problems of an older house.

I want one of the Old houses from like Gone With the Wind days, where they are all called plantations. That is my dream house.

Old houses have a certain charm about them... but, you don't know how well they were built. I'd rather have a new house and add my own charm and character.

I like older houses too. New houses all look exactly the same.

Brand new... old houses require too much maintenance. Plus, honestly, they're kinda creepy in my opinion
