I agree, look at the true bottom line. However if two homes were exactly the same, features, location, upgrades, etc, and one had a bond of 10K and one had a paid off bond, I would expect a 10K difference in their price. Just as when I looked at new homes with a 30K bond, I added that delta to a pre-owned. I know no other way to compare apples to apples. That's why I wonder when everyone says new is cheaper. Just the cost is in a different bucket. But it is still real cost to you. And when that is added to new and a 8K to 10K balance is added to pre-owned, adjusted for upgrades that I want, I almost always find pre-owned cheaper then new.
