Almost everyone spends about another 10K on new homes after purchase. You need blinds, washer and dryer, attic stairs, landscaping, probably some rooms painted, and more. Some want to do epoxy on the garage floor before anything is in it. Different things done by different folks, but almost everyone spends at least another 10K.
And most of those things are already done with a resale. When you look at the bond difference and the cost of what you have to add to a new home, resales become a better value.
