I bought my first place brand new and I’m not sure I would do it again. There’s a lot of added cost in buying new. You need to spend a ton of money getting those homes landscaped, adding patios and stuff like that. Buying a resale you can find homes with nice yards and the upgrades already done. Plus with a resale you can see what the neighborhood is like. With new tracts just about anything can happen, especially in a market like this. There are a lot of 2 year old homes with dirt yards still. Unless I find a builder fire sale I’m looking at resale for my next home.
