Well, I do not think that idea is correct about a resale costing more than a new home with the same upgrades.

I know for a fact that my home - on a golf course - would have cost around $50,000 more if I had bought a new house. Plus I would have had a bond of over $25,000. I got my house with a $2,300 bond - meaning much less on my property tax bill every year.

However, each to their own way of thinking. That is why Baskin-Robbins has so many flavors of ice cream.
