Each option comes with its own set of considerations. New construction homes offer the thrill of customization, allowing you to put your personal touch on every detail, from flooring to fixtures. However, patience is key as the building process can take several months. On the flip side, resale homes offer the advantage of immediate occupancy and often come with established neighborhoods and mature landscaping. The decision may hinge on your timeline, desire for personalization, and how well you navigate the hidden costs associated with each (new homes often do not have window coverings or landscaping whereas a resale home may need new paint and carpet).
