Especially when buying pre-owned. The only big advantage of buying pre-owned is that you can see whether the neighbors have potential red flags and if they tend to maintain their homes and landscaping properly.

I had an acquaintance that bought sight un-seen in Southwest Florida and he was angry when the RE agent didn't mention that the home next door had violent hoarders living there with multiple broken down vehicles/boats on their property.
