The bond is really a meaningless construct to me. For my new house build in 2022 it was $30k. I just pretend that my house cost me $30k more than the selling price, which is pretty much true.

Besides, if someone were to buy a resale home versus a new one, they're probably going to need to spend an extra $20k to get updated appliances and possibly renovations anyways.
