Used housing had many ammenities in place. Bringing the new ones up to snuff (ca-ching) and the challenges of finding expert workmen for the improvements would make me search for used again with the criteria that is important to us.

The one year warranty business on the new builds is a pita for us. You put in all the issues and they will only address a few and not always to our standards. New landscaping requires extra watering/attention... Everyone's plans are different, those are some of our measuring sticks.
