Default Pre owned
Many preowned offer an insurance co "warranty", or you can make one part of your offer. When looking for a home in TV you need to look at all potential cost. The "bond and Maintenance fees" on new homes are quite high compared to preowned. You may want added extras that may already be done in preowned. In preowned you need to look at the "wear factor" of the home. How old is the roof, HVAC, hot water heater and appliances. IMHO rent a home style you think you want for at least 3 months and go to every open house you can (new & preowned) . Get to know "the lay of the land".
