There are so many factors that go into determining the answer to your question. House size, house type, location, condition of the house, age of the house, neighborhood, seller need to sell. All things being equal a used house 2 or 3 years old it probably the best buy. That is assuming there is no artificial price bubble in the area you are looking at. Sometimes a house in an existing neighbor is better because you can see how the neighborhood "turned out." I have seen some cases where the homes in a new development are not as well cared for as you would have expected. We bought our previous house in a hurry because of time constraints involved a company move. The house we bought was very close to what we wanted but some of the neighbors who bought right after use were real turkeys. Our current house was built specifically for use based on plans we developed to suit our needs. We found a good contractor with good references and agreed to a fixed fee for him to build the house. He then got bids for all of the work and materials so we have a very good handle of the final cost before we started. We were able to adjust some things to stay in budget and in other cases got some extras for almost nothing. Because we knew up front what we wanted and had a good contractor the process was actually fun. My wife enjoyed a great deal and would do it again tomorrow. We chose our plan by looking through many sets of house plan magazines that are available on the new stand. We then bought a set of plans for the house we liked best and modified them to suit. The was the cost of the house design was less than $700.
