A shitload of effort and material goes into building a home, a home will always be the single most expensive thing people own. The idea people won’t care about it is a fantasy.

Now, what you do tend to get is people who settle down and pick a single home to live in the rest of their lives. Those tend to slowly bend more and more to the owner’s preferences. It’s easier to justify a $xxx,xxx renovation when you will live in the home for decades to come.
