new or pre-owned
wow what an exciting time for you!! it's so much fun picking out a house but there is alot to consider!! With the market right now you can get a new home cheaper than a resale. However there are the pros and cons of course. New is really nice. No one lived there obviously. Pre-owned can be upgraded as others stated and the bond may be paid off or lower. You can get good deals now on pre-owns because there are so many for sale. You may not want to remodel a resale though. you may want a move in home. some even come with furniture. If you don't mind moving again, i guess you could just buy. But if you want this to be your Last Move really take your time. Look around you. Check how close you are to neighbors!! do you want your lanai to face others or do you want to face a street? Check location to sumter square. Bonita, St charles, st james are getting away now from it. How close do you want to be to square? will you go to square in golf cart alot? so many things to take into consideration. Take your time is the best advice i can give you and enjoy the process!! What type of house are you looking for? Study floor plan. do you want large home? if so Gardania and Lantana most popular but a bit more pricey. Ranch homes Amarillo seems to be popular. Narrow down first your location, your priorities in home, and price range. Start there and Good luck.
