Both times we bought homes we looked in older neighourhoods built in the 50s through 70s, often still occupied by original owners. Most of the houses had 20+ year old kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting etc. Canadians didn't routinely reno their homes for style purposes until recently.
This is such an indicator of how advertising has turned us into an inherently unhappy species. Just keep facelifting your home so it's a little bit more on trend, just a little bit more current. What a waste of money.
