[quote=lifeisgood] It seems to me that because the inventory is low in the used house market at this price point, it makes sense to buy new. [/quote]
Be very careful with that reasoning. There are tremendous expenses with new homes that first timers don’t realize. Landscaping, upgrades, curtains, shutters can be very expensive if you pay retail. On a resale home between 3-8 years old, you can sometimes get all the upgrades for free and usually have lower Mello-Roos, etc. But “good” inventory is bad now, so a toss up.
