Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-New or Old

If you are in the market to buy a home but haven’t made up your mind whether it will be a new or an existing one, you should let your Realtor help you weigh the merits of each. For instance, you will probably find a wider selection of older homes for sale.

Also, when you compare living space, location, construction materials, and other factors, you may be getting more for your money if you buy an older home.

Older homes tend to be closer to established shopping areas, churches, and other neighborhood attractions. Homes in established neighborhoods also have a more “settled” look, with mature trees and shrubbery. On the other hand, new houses have obvious advantages, too.

When you deal with an experienced Real Estate broker, however, you have already made one of the most important decisions long before you find the house you want to buy.
