If your trying to reduce costs... then building new is NOT the answer. As homes get tighter and more advanced, I feel it takes a LOT more care to insure it built correctly. Which in turn means a lot of details and very-skilled builders ($$$).
Older, less-efficient homes, were over-built and capable of getting wet and surviving. New materials and techniques of construction may perform better, but are less tolerant to moisture.
