Default It depends

After a lot of research and talking with realtors, we discovered one thing. If you want one of the bigger, 1900 plus square foot designer home with golf car garage, you can build it cheaper, including bond, than buying a used. Or multilist realtor told us point blank that what we wanted would cost more used than new by more than $20000. It seems ridiculous but it is the case. We wanted a Begonia and the only choice was new because not many were on the market. The smaller, 1500 square feet homes were plentiful, but not with a golf car garage. Sometimes our priorities limit our lives.
