I've lived through this and seen this in histories of home purchases. It's the reason I don't recommend buying a brand new home unless you oversaw its construction.

The ideal situation in my experience is to find a home maybe 10 years old. Problems don't necessarily become evident the first year.

Then again homes of any age have issues creep in, so maybe there's always risks.
