Buying a brand new home is definitely delightful. And as SWR points out, an excellent way to make a fresh, new start.
But I personally believe that you get much more for your money by buying a resale. Sometimes the bond is paid, and the bond can add many thousands of dollars to the base price of a new home. With a resale, it is likely that the owner has added many extras, such as palm trees, birdcages, attic stairs, painting driveways, sun tunnels, etc., etc. Plus I find a more mature neighbourhood with tall trees to be very appealing.
Each to his own, sometimes it is just a matter of falling in love with a house.
