Why do houses appreciate rather then depreciate?
Help me understand why a house that is old cost so much.
The wood is old and the house isn’t as stable as it once was. There will be repairs needed more often sooner or later.
So I’m guessing it’s not the materialistic value of a house that makes it more expensive. What are people actually paying for if it isn’t the materialistic value of a house? I’ve seen a little old tiny house that cost $200,000! How could that be!?
appreciated in value is kinda what I’m getting at. Value should being going down as the house get’s older I would think. I overheard a man say their house is worth $100,000 more then what I paid for it. Oh yeah? LOL Like did it rebuild itself over night or something? It just got another day older to me.
Some areas home will depreciate. Some homes more than others, depending on the climate and how/good bad the construction was. When I lived in Southern CA the older homes didn’t seem to depreciate, old vs newer homes were very close in price. I live in a rural area in MO and there is a large gap in price between older and newer homes. Poorer construction and more extreme weather can wear some homes out.
The reason why older homes can keep up is because the cost of construction keeps going up, newer homes get more and more expensive and land keeps going up (for the most part). As that happens older homes will be able to sell for more because they can. The gap between the prices will be as close as the market will allow.

Solomons Stables $103.56 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Solomons Stables (Hebrew: ) is the popular name for an underground vaulted space on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Solomons Stables are located under the southeastern corner of the Temple Mount, 121/2 metres below the courtyard and feature twelve rows of pillars and arches. The structure has been called Solomons Stables since Crusader times. It is unlikely to date as far back as Solomon, and may have been built by Herod the Great, who leveled and substantially extended the Temple Mount platform. The theory is that arches would decrease pressure on the supporting walls and elevate the platform above the bedrock. According to the Mishna, however, the arches were built to keep the buildings on the mount from being defiled by graves in the depth. (Mishnah, Tohoroth, 3). According to Islamic tradition, Caliph Marwan I transformed the vaulted structure into a series of usable rooms. It is believed to have been a place of worship and became known as the elMarwani mosque. In 1996, the waqf built a modern mosque there, with a capacity for 7,000 worshipper Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
