The median home in the city of Springfield was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Missouri median of 1978.1 Somewhat more of Springfield's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 58% against 50%, with 8% built since 2010.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied homes in Springfield are older than rentals: a median build year of 1970 against 1981.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
