My "new" old house in Cary was built in 1987 and has Masonite siding. A few pieces were installed incorrectly (and have since been replaced) but overall it's in good condition. I'm not worried about it at this point - I'll just keep up with maintenance (or in my case, pay someone else to do it) and enjoy the benefits of owning an older home.
