The reason I differentiate between the two is because one could argue a house stands as a permanent vanity feature. After all, you don't need to be active to show off your beautifully designed (or not) house. What does an empty plot do for you? You can't even place a stable or gardens on it.

And frankly, because the plot is more expensive, if you can afford the land, you can afford to build the house.
