Resale Home vs. New Build Home

Resale Home vs. New Build Home (Quick Comparison)

Feature Resale Home New Build Home
Purchase Price Transparency Negotiable based on market comps. Set by builder — may include upgrades not listed in base price.
Inspection & Negotiation Power Full inspection contingency + price negotiations available. Inspection available, but negotiation power is limited without a REALTOR®.
Builder Incentives Rare or seasonal. Often available, but incentives may be offset by higher base price.
Appraisal Risk Typically aligned with recent sold comps in the area. New builds can appraise below offer price — a REALTOR® can help protect you.
Upgrades & Customization Limited to cosmetic changes unless major renovations are done later. Wide selection of upgrades during build.
Warranty Coverage Usually none — buyer arranges repairs post-close. Standard builder warranty included.
Closing Costs Standard buyer / lender fees. Can include unexpected fees (impact fees, HOA), often overlooked without REALTOR® guidance.
Timeline & Delays Immediate or pre-arranged move-in. Construction delays possible — a REALTOR® helps protect your interests.
Market Comparisons Easy to value with nearby sales data. Harder to compare without expert insights — REALTORS® bring market expertise.
Representation Cost Your agent is typically paid from seller proceeds. Your REALTOR® still gets paid — and protects you.

*Note: This comparison is intended to help you understand general differences between resale homes and new construction homes. Individual builder policies and market conditions may vary.

Buying a New Build? You should have a REALTOR® on your side. The builder’s agent represents the builder’s interests — not yours.
