When deciding to purchase a new or used home you have to make some decisions based on needs and financial constraints. A new home is one that has just been built – no one else has lived in it yet. You might buy a new home from a contractor who has built it, or you might hire a contractor to build it for you. A previously-owned home (often called a resale) has already been lived in. The costs maybe comparable or the deciding factor depending on the area and neighborhood you choose.
