Should I buy a new-home or a resale home?

A new homes construction is changing all the time as builders try to adapt designs to today's lifestyles, making the most of living space and incorporate new technology, building materials and equipment, while keeping prices affordable.
A resale home with a past have special appeal. An existing home is a settled place ( literally) the foundation the landscaping, the neighbourhood, including its services, are about where they're probably going to be for some time.
