问过agent, 美国房子最大问题是建筑质量低劣,导致大量foundation有问题, 也是最容易入坑的问题。
美国新建房屋25% foundation有问题,德州更是30%以上。
而且买房时,除非foundation已经开裂,一般inspection根本就发现不了。等住几年后,fudation就开始开裂,下沉,移位。维修都是$20000起步。



According to available data, approximately 25% of homes in the United States will experience some form of structural distress, which often refers to foundation problems, meaning a significant portion of houses in the US could potentially have foundation issues at some point in their lifetime. 
Key points about foundation problems in US homes: Prevalence: Around 1 in 4 houses will develop structural damage related to foundation issues.  Impact on home buying: Many homebuyers consider foundation problems a "deal breaker" when purchasing a property.  Causes: Common causes of foundation issues include expansive clay soils, poor drainage, seasonal weather changes, and tree root intrusion.

foundation,要用很厚的钢筋混凝土浇筑,有些深度都有一米五甚至更深,而且下面还要铺上防渗膜,再上面铺设管线,光把这么大一块的地基面积的土方挖出来,都是个不小的工程,这样很不利于节省成本
况且,木屋结构,如果是一层,并不需要做这么好的地基,如果是两层,承重也不是需要这么奢侈
基于成本的总控制,你这个假设,建筑商是不予以采纳的
