I bought a re-sale home 3 years ago and it had every extra in it that I could imagine plus a golf course view. The price was negotiable with the owner since he needed money to buy his new place. No construction going on around me. Mature landscaping. Instead of $20,000 bond, it had $1500 left on the bond. Re-sales are always worth checking out before buying a lot in a new section.
Annual maintenance assessments are often a lot less in established neighborhoods also.
