As usual, it is buyer beware. A roof 8 years old is not new, unless they had a 50 year roof installed, Then it would definitely last the lifetime of the original buyer.
People think of new as never having been lived in by anyone. Those who want new, like the thought, they were the only one in "that home".
Other people who don't mind someone having lived there before them, might like a reduced priced but know, it's not "new".

2B...I agree with some disclaimer should be added in the online presentation of these homes.
The bottom line is these homes will sell. Just like all of the homes that were sold here before them. We haven't heard anyone who has posted they were duped. One poster said she went to an open house at one of them and the sales agent told her they had been used for life style visits.
I don't have the ( what is that Yiddish word my friend Ruthie always used...Chutzpa?) to tell them how to run their railroad. They seem to be chugging along doing fine.
I have been accused of defending the developers. They don't need my defense. The homeowners who have all invested a bundle of dough may be annoyed at all the negativity. But they are grown ups too.
People are gonna think and say whatever they want to. And in the end the homes will sell..
