I’m so anxious to decide to buy a house or condo. I also have three kids under age 8. The houses in Massachusetts are so expensive and old. While the condo are brand new and cheaper. We are under contract 710 K for a single family house , 1967 built, 1800sqf in a great neighborhood but we are still thinking because it is going be a lot of stress for the price and to maintain. Sometimes I think condos would be better and won’t give me a headache because they are new and nothing to worry about maintenance. Any idea would be helpful for us to decide.

My 1965 home has not given me many problems. I would never choose to share walls.
The new build we lived In before had more issues. Cheap materials I guess.
I think it just depends on the individual house you are buying and what has or hasn’t been updated and how it was cared for and is it copper or aluminum wires, original windows, how has it settled, etc etc.
1967 isn’t that old. Far cry from 1920s snd older where you start getting knob and tube and piles of rubble for basement walls and such.
