Vinyl is standard for new construction so I would not say she is right. That being said, I prefer an old house with character including wood windows for longevity. Unfortunately they really don’t make em like they used to.
What price range? Unless it’s a fairly expensive new build, I wouldn’t be at all surprised by vinyl.
Wood windows are nice but are maintenance hogs. I have them but would rather not. Traded them with the wife to save money in other areas.

Also own a slew of homes even up to $1M. Wood was never an option in any of them.
Since when is listening to your MIL a good idea?
Almost never 😂 My MIL and her family do not even try at home maintenance. Both her home and her mothers home are in a complete state of disrepair. I’m talking leaks in the roof that funnel water into the screened in outdoor area and make the ceiling sag. The ceiling of her mother’s house inside the garage literally collapsed. And they talk about these houses like someone will buy the property some day and use the house. Someone needs to tell them it’ll only be good to bulldoze, but I’ll let my husband do that.
I own 8 houses. All vinyl windows. Can’t go wrong. I would look at the details on other fronts. Stone/brick exterior? What kind of crown molding? What kind of appliances? What kind of lights? What kind of landscape. What’s the brand of Hvac. Brand of water heater. Did they put radon? Need to look at all of those factors.
