I frankly never even considered a re-sale home. Mostly because I was coming from my 100-year-old home where I had been for nearly 45 years, where my late wife and I had lived since our fourth anniversary. I wanted completely new!
But, there are many, many pre-owned homes available, and I can definitely appreciate another Linda's approach.
The quality of construction has always been good, so the old places are just as well-built as the new ones. But, most will have lots and lots of changes, upgrades, etc., and will have established landscaping and maybe even some nice tall trees.
Whatever you choose, come on back and dig right in!
