Obviously new versus resale is an extremely individual decision. We bought resale (4 years old). The bond was paid. There were many extras included and we were able to negotiate a real bargain. Plus we loved the more mature look of the area. And being closer to the Town Squares and Southern Trace.

I can just emphasize what others have said: when comparing prices, whether new or resale, always add on the bond! Some of the bonds on new houses are huge. Village Agents don't like to talk about bonds, you have to always ask that question.
