The largest single share, 55%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Jefferson County as a whole (59% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Grayson Valley are of similar age: median build years 1987 and 1984.1
