    If you are rich enough, you don’t buy a house, you buy a plot of land, you then contract an architect to help you plan the house to your liking, after that you get a contractor who helps you build the house.

    Only poor people buy houses second hand!

    …unless they are REALLY fancy, then only rich people buy the houses.

      Hey… rich people buy houses too! If they want the plot of land beneath it they just rip out and replace the house with something fancy

      For us that was actually cheaper than buying a house. Granted, pricing probably varies by region, but generally construction costs are nowhere as high as existing house costs, so if the plot doesn’t cost too much, it’s viable alternative in many places
