Good point. We recently purchased a preowned cyv. Fully updated, new roof and HVAC, extended lanai, low maintenance yard, landscaping complete, screened-in entry, stretched rooms plus more goodies. Bond paid.

Since you are not in a hurry, pay attention to the preowned. There are some great buys. For us, It was nice to move into a home where everything was done. When you buy new, you will have to make upgrades increasing your cost of the home sufficiently. Something to think about...
