After looking at lots of resales and the new models, I decided to buy new and have been happy with my decision. The resales I saw included so much for their upgrades to the price and sometimes the upgrades were things I would not be interested in. The mature landscaping was nice but the model I bought was the Iris and am planning on doing landscaping in the spring that I would like....the bond seems to be a big issue but the house I bought including the bond was less than the resales I looked into for the same size house. The bond being paid off was a great appeal when I looked but it seemed to me the owners were just including it into the price they were asking...Its really a personal decision and all that really matters in the end is that you live in paradise!!
