I think you are asking if it's less expensive to buy an existing or resale home instead of purchasing a new, never lived in home. There is no accurate answer to your question, in my opinion. There are just so many factors that play into the scenario e.g. is the home a foreclosure, short sale, spec home, model home, is the family eager to move etc.. In today's market, in some cases, some home builders are taking a loss (large incentives and price cuts) on homes making new homes more affordable than existing homes. However, you can find a great deal on resale homes too - it all just depends on the situation. I'd say that as a general rule, it is not more expensive to build a new home. Sarah – good question!

Thanks, Sarah. Hi NewHomesGuy,
