I have used both. Both types did not have my interest in mind in the slightest. Both types had degrees of unprofessionalism.
One possibility that can work in your favor is a used but less than 12 month old home. No matter who sells it the owner cannot receive a profit. This is in place to discourage flippers. In a sought after location you can benefit from no appreciation and improvements that the original owner completed

Wrong, the owner can add the cost of improvements to the selling price to recoup the cost of those improvements. You will also have a lesser warranty when buying a almost new home vs a new home.
