New or Resale

One of the decisions most prospective homebuyers have to make is whether to buy a brand new house or a previously owned (“resale”) home. Here’s a comparison of some advantages to each choice:

New house:
  Modern floor plans that could include a “great room,” bigger closets, more baths, etc.
  The opportunity to choose upgrades and customize floor coverings, colors and more
  More energy-efficient insulation, windows and heating/cooling systems
  The added protection of a warranty from the home builder

Resale home:
  Existing features, including window treatments and mature landscaping
  Location — existing homes are often closer to metropolitan areas
Established neighborhoods that provide a sense of community
The opportunity to use an existing home as a base to remodel and create a unique property
