What's wrong with stucco?

Problem I have with a new build is that it hasn't been "tested". An older home will have been through living, inclement weather, etc. and any blemishes and problems will have probably been worked out. With a new build, you'll have to worry about warranty claims and the headaches associated with them. My sister moved into a new build and had a really tough time with it. My personal ideal would be a home that's got a few years under its belt. Just not too much. I like my houses like I like my women.
