That is true, but when you buy a pre-owned house, you are at a significant disadvantage. The seller knows everything about the house and the buyer knows nothing. Also, there is usually a salesperson who is working for the seller, and who tends to highlight the good points about the house and to downplay or even hide the bad points. When you buy a new house, you pretty much know what you are buying.
