eli5 why abandoned houses get in rough shape, But lived in houses are fine after being unchanged for years?

459 views

I have seen so many videos on YouTube of homes that have been abandoned for 5-10 years and they are just falling apart, But then my house hasn’t been renovated or anything in 8 years or so, and it’s in good condition. Wouldn’t the same thing happen to my house since it’s unchanged?

Even though you might not do it OP, someone washes your house, clears the gutters, fixes a squeaking window. Also your lawn is probably mowed and bushes tidy. All those things when not done get noticed a lot more than when they do.
