If you ask me, pre-owned is THE way to go. There are so many upgrades to buy when you buy a new house. Just think of it as a stripped down car and everything is an extra. Adds up very fast.
I bought a pre-owned with the perfect view and setting 2 years ago. The house has upgrades that are perfect and would not even be offered on a new house - and we had them from Day 1 with no extra cost.
The bond is another item. Our bond was $2,300. Compare that with bonds of $20,000 to $50,000 on new houses. Big chunk of change.
New houses are not negotiable in price. Pre-owned homes are fully negotiable with the seller.
Right now, there are a couple of real nice designer homes on Talley Ridge Drive in Glenbrook offered by Villages Properties that are for sale. Golf course and water views. Check them out with an agent.
