New builds are only shitty if you hire a general like Marrano.
Typically new builds are much improved over houses that are even only ten years old.
Technology FTW.
edit: Being your own general can save 20%-25% so it can be much more than $10,000.

I agree about technology, for sure, but you can also UPDATE with technology. Again, unless you spend the money, your new build is going to suck because its going to be done by someone like Marrano. The market is cut throat, and they need to shave pennies everywhere. Thats how you end up with studs every 30" and half assed plumbing and electrical.
This is just my opinion, and certainly older houses have their problems as well.
