I personally like resale, if you can find something with potential and good bones. Many upgrades are in place already, (cheaper than paying for it new), landscaping and irrigation are in place, neighborhood is established, no new building construction noise, and I love looking for something with character that previous owners have already established that I can make my own. Also, oftentimes you can make an offer with pieces of existing furniture that you like in the space... big savings if you don’t have furniture or want something new. Sometimes they will leave mounted televisions, etc. Get a good realtor that knows the area and features (I used Stephen Yohn at Remax) He is a great source of all kind of Village info and can point out all the pros and cons of the property, location and features that I never would have thought of with an unbiased opinion instead of just the builder’s view of new homes.
But as others have said... to each his own! Good luck!
