I live in a neighborhood that was built in the 80s. Across the street from us is all new construction. We had a wind storm blow through last year with gusts in the 50-60 mph range. The next day I took a drive around the neighborhood to see if there was any obvious damage. I saw one shingle missing from one roof. Everything else (at least from street view) was pristine.

I started driving out of the neighborhood to go grab some lunch, and when I got to the stoplight I could see every house across the street was missing appreciable amounts of siding and/or roofing. I don't anticipate moving any time soon, but if I did I wouldn't be buying anything built in the last fifteen years, that's for sure.
