Ren . . . so many misconceptions here.

Generalizations to try to make a point. I didn’t think you’d get it, BG, and you didn’t disappoint me.
No one without severe brain damage passes on a house because of bad carpeting. That kind of assumption is what makes your posts so insulting. People pass on a house because the kitchen would barely fit a card table, or because the low ceilings make them feel like they’re in a coal mine. Before you go quoting statistics about how many thousands of older homes have larger kitchens and high ceilings, don’t bother, because all that matters is that tiny kitchens and low ceilings are negatives for houses that DO have them. If I can get a beautiful layout with a smaller lot (when I don’t need a larger lot to begin with!) and those happen to be in a newer home, then that’s the home I’ll choose. The newness is almost beside the point – I like older houses, but more often than not, there are serious layout issues and it’s easier to find newer houses with layouts that someone actually thought through. You don’t share my opinion, and that doesn’t bother me. Why it bothers you is the big mystery here.
To each his own. Is that clearer? Just because someone doesn’t agree with your definition of a good piece of property doesn’t make them stupid, and I’m sick of you insinuating that it does.
