When we first started looking, I was sure we would buy a resale. I did not like the idea of the bond on new homes. Looked at many resales thru TV & MLS. Resales that met our needs were higher than having the the house built including the bond cost. Many of the resales had ugly wallpaper and "dated" colors Never made an Offer on a resale, because they did not meet our needs. But I am sure I could have gotten a "good deal". I custom built my last home using many upgrades and energy effiecent HVAC that builders do not offer. New TV homes are"track housing" not custom built, but certainly not a POS ! Everybody's wants and needs are different. "DO the math" and buy what you want.
