The bond prices are an issue she is giving close attention. Right now, a preowned is looking much sweeter than a new with a $50-80 thousand bond. She would rather spend that money remodeling an older home to suit her taste than carrying a 30 yr bond fee that gives her no benefit. A home between the 66's is her desired location.
Preowned home prices are still way above market. I like your daughter would prefer a preowned when weighing them you will have to pay 100k more than new for same homes. Sorting through roof ages and flooring costs it is much to consider also.
