The largest single share, 57%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Harford County as a whole (40% built before 1980).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 Fallston are older than rentals: a median build year of 1977 against 1993.¹ Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
