If you just compare house to house than resale is overpriced. When you dig a bit deeper you figure out why. When you buy new you have to add a washer and dryer, attic stairs, landscaping, blinds, and a few other things. Usually the bond will be 10 to 20K lower on a resale. When you compare everything usually the resale is cheaper. So if you find what home you like in a location you like, you can buy a lot of paint and flooring to make it your own for what you will save.
Most who buy new will spend another 20K on things they need and have a much higher bond day 1.
