Should I buy new construction or an existing home?
New construction offers new systems and builder warranties but can cost more and take time to build. Existing homes are often move-in sooner and may have room to negotiate. Either way, compare the price with recent nearby sales, which ListingCraft for Buyers shows for any address.
With new construction, read the builder's contract carefully, still get an independent inspection, and know that the builder's sales staff work for the builder.
With an existing home, budget for updates and check the age of major systems.
