Your second sentence doesn't necessarily support the first paragraph. Houses that aren't lived in, by my observation, rapidly deteriorate no matter the build quality. Old widow dies, and house is tied up in estate arguing for a few years: no one wants it now. Critters get in, it's all closed up with no circulation, all that little shit that niggles at you as a homeowner each weekend starts to add up after a while if you don't take care of it.
