I think it depends on what you want. New houses cost to much , were not in the area we wanted and the yards were a lot smaller. I would buy a junker and fix it up if you can do some of the work. I wouldn’t want a flip home . You could end up redoing some of the work they did . The new house would be a lot more efficient. If your buys a old house newer winds and updated kitchen and bathrooms would save you a ton.

I live in a 20 yr old home and want a new one but with the current price of building materials it seems like new ones cost about a third more per sq ft than one even 10 years old. It is amazing how little you get for $400K in new construction north of ATL vs. the same size home in the same area in an established neighborhood.
