I'm team resale. Nowadays a lot of these builders are putting out shoddy products. The homes look good but are crappily built with hidden problems. I want something from back in the day when homes were built to last!

Team new construction

Team new construction, the ‘sellers’ in my area took the housing bubble wayyyy too far! Listing homes they haven’t updated since 2006 (that they bought for $100-$200k) for close to $500k, if not more! Same old dusty carpet, yellowed shower walls and yucky cabinets, but somehow they think their used house is worth 1/2 million dollars! Chile anyway soo… new construction it is!

New construction all day! In California it's way more expensive to buy a resale than it is to build from the ground up

Resale homes

I am team whatever I can get. I want new construction because resale usually require some upgrades. Don’t know the groove of the home if it’s older.

Team New Construction! Thank you for taking out the time to give us this information 😊

Team resale! Just get a resale that has been totally renovated. Best of both worlds.

Team Resale! I enjoy the character, freedom to be & change, lot size, and stronger build of resale/older homes.

Team New Construction. As empty nesters, we didn't want the bigger yard. Also, the community facilities are more modern and new. It's really exciting to watch our house come to life. Plus, super helpful to know exactly where the pipes, etc are behind the walls, talk to the project manager about the material they are using and how it's been adapted to the region's climate (for eg, concrete pour in these extreme heats). The one downside for us, as you mentioned, was the limited options we had. with the interior colors, carpets. Saying that though, the new build was closer to our likes than any of the resale properties.

At this point I've given up on qualifying for a home i just watch your videos for entertainment and i appreciate your knowledge!

Team resale. I've had the worst neighbor experience in neighborhoods where the homes are 5ft apart. I need some acreage 😅

I’m team new construction but yes it’s on a smaller lot and further from the city.

Shaheeda, you are the best real estate agent on KZread. Hands down. I have learned so much from watching your videos. With regards to new construction, I live in the Chicago area where homes as small as 2000 square feet (in most places) are selling between 600-900k. I can't understand for the life of me how people can afford these homes. My wife and I would easily qualify for one of these expensive homes, but we believe in living below our means (as anything could happen). At some point, we plan to build a home (team new construction) though it will likely be in an area where it doesn't cost as much to build. Keep up the good work!

New construction is beautiful and everything is well new, but they are poorly built. It is best to buy a home built prior to 2000 as the quality of new home construction keeps going down. They make a house look pretty with cheap materials.

Both for various reasons, however my husband and I bought resale townhouse with a fully finished basement upper and lower patio very rare inNC I’m happy

I would like new construction, but I would rather buy resale than to deal with the association.
