Is used always better? With cars and clothes, it can save you money, but what about with a home? Thinking about whether to buy a home new or to buy resale can be daunting. We are listing the advantages of both. 

What are the advantages of resale?

Older homes tend to be less expensive than new houses. It could already be in a great established neighborhood or even one with historical elements to it. It’s already had its wear and tear so the price naturally drops down. However, that does mean that there may need to be more improvements made to the house.
