Hi Taylor111947,

When we were looking in TV, we also found resales to be a better value. Many have low-to-no bond, mature landscaping, custom window treatments and lots of upgrades.

If you found a new spec home on a lot that you like and in a location you like, it should not be too difficult to price-out any upgrades you want and compare the total cost vs. building with the same upgrades. It probably would depend on how much "incentive" (or whatever it's called) is available on the pre-built.

I'm excited for you that you are days away from your trip down to find your TV dream house. All best wishes and please, please keep us posted!
