Should You Buy a New Home or an Existing One?

Becky Ivins Movers Real Estate Podcast

Which is the best investment: a new home or an existing home? If you’ve been thinking of buying a home, you may be asking yourself this question. Today, I’d like to give you my opinion. First of all, the answer may vary depending on where you plan on buying. When buying in a newer neighborhood, existing homes can sometimes be a better buy. These homes are still current but tend to be cheaper than a new home. New homes do provide you with the option to pick and choose items you like, but this can cause you to go over budget if you aren’t careful. If you are planning on buying a new home, be very cautious when choosing between your options. “When buying in a newer neighborhood, existing homes can sometimes be a better buy.” So, which is a better buy? Ultimately, the answer depends on your wants and needs. The right choice depends on what is important to you. But, what about the sellers’ side of things? Which will bring more money: a nearly-new home or an older one? Again, this depends on the neighborhood. Existing homes in highly sought-after neighborhoods will be very popular among buyers.
