Personally, I think resales are a lot better deal than a new house. Negotiate on price with the seller, set your terms, no construction going on in the neighborhood, mature landscaping, you get to see actual fees and bills the owner has paid, bond will be a heck of a lot lower than in a new house.

The bond payment is attached to your property tax bill each year. Mine was substantially less than several friends who had bought new homes.
