That's bizarre. CAT5 wiring came standard on our (starter level) home when we purchased it almost 5 years ago.
I don't care about a gas fireplace; that being said my wife and I are happy staying indefinitely in our 1100 sq foot duplex (soon to be 1500 when I finish the basement) so we may not be in the norm. Even not having an ensuite bathroom isn't a big deal for us - though I suppose if we bought another house we'd probably want one.
