Can someone please explain this to me?
It’s almost impossible to generally compare 2 homes, without knowing the details of what’s included.
With a new home, there are always upgrades that need to be made. Most pre owned homes have many thousands of dollars in upgrades. The area around an existing home is most likely fully build out and already has established traffic routes.

As mentioned, established home MIGHT have replacement/maintenance costs sooner.
