We began our search with resale houses. At the end of the first day, the sales person showed us a new construction. We were sold. In October when we were looking the houses on the market were nice, but all seemed to need work. For the same price, we were able to get new construction and no out of pocket expenses. In time, I'm certain we will make changes, but we got more bang for our buck with new construction.

There's no right or wrong answer with new construction VS existing houses. Simply personal preference. For us it was dollars and cents.
