I've seen a lot of pre-owned homes less than 3 years old that have no substantial upgrades, and they are priced at more than $100K above what the owner paid for the house, and more than comparable new houses. I looked at one house that was purchased new only 9 months prior and the owner was asking $90k more than the new sales price and they had done nothing to upgrade the house. I think you need to be especially careful about what you pay for a pre-owned house.
