yes that is what I'm finding. Most of the resales on the market right now would, for me, need major changes if I bought them so they don't appear to offer any advantages over buying new. Even if the bond is paid and one has to redo flooring, landscape, etc. then it's the same as buying new with a bond and theoretically with a new place, you don't have to worry about any major repairs for a longer while. It's rare to find one who's owner's taste matched your own.
