Pre-owned is almost always cheaper. The things you need to place against the new are all the things you will do in the first year that are already done in a pre-owned. Landscape, attic stairs, paver's, fans, blinds, bond balance, and probably many others. And the fact that the list price of a pre-owned is something you can make an offer against. When you look at all that, it is probably between 30K and 40k savings on pre-owned vs a direct price compare to new. And you can see what your getting already done. Yes you may spend some money to get it the way you want, but a lot less then new. Also I agree with TrudyM, settling has already happened and you can see those issues as well.
