They aren't suppose to pressure like that, unless you requested continuing attention or made some commitment. Report him and ask for another.
As for avoiding pre-owned. The Developer is just that, a developer and builder of land and new houses. Pre-owned sales is just a necessary sideline for them, and is tolerated because it does make some profit. However, new sales are quicker, easier and devoid of all the inspections, negotiations and pitfalls of peddling a used property, AND I assume, the additional spiffs associated with new sales doesn't hurt the motivation of the sales people! Slam, bam, here it is, take it or leave it --- faster commissions.
On to the next prospect!
There are a few sales people who have an interest in and are good at selling preowned, but you have to seek them out. Janice Schoenfeld is one, for example. One way of finding them is to tour the open preowned homes and talk to the salesperson on duty. Play dumb like a tourist, and see how long it takes for them to push touring new homes or lots or asking why you aren't interested in new-build or spec homes. Its usually the third sentence out of their mouth. Out for the fast kill; not the person you want to hook up with to find a good preowned!
Try the preowned "tour" for a couple days and you will soon see the pressure is on to sell new!
