Its just a different world here. I do know the 1960's homes tend to be out of favor. Everyone likes the 1860's however. They tend to like the 30's and 40's. maybe the generation before has to die out to become more popular. People want grandma's house now. Living in an old town you learn to convert yesterdays homes inot today's needs. I live in a town with few new homes and almost none that are not spec homes. Its just a different world here.

I agree with you and will add that it's also a shame considering some of wonderful older homes that have been torn down for a thoughtless townhouse. I'm seeing a lot of these things sit in our neighborhood of West Seattle. Our family's favorite Mexican restaurant is now a bunch of empty condos...I think the builder is offering financing. One of the bright spots, IMO, of land values coming down is that we should see much less of this. Jon, I’m somehow just catching this post.
