If you can build the same model home new with the same options: granite, 2+ golf garage, lot view, pool, cage, summer kitchen as a 2-3 year old year old home why would anyone pay the same or many thousands more for the 2 -3 year old home?

Example I found is owner pays 500K optioned as above from the builder in 2010 and asks well into 600's.

Builder quotes about the same 500K with the above options.

Which to buy, new or used?
Keith, you might find a difference in the bond amounts of new vs. resale homes.
