Choosing a new or old home is largely up to personal preference. Some people like lots of character and personality, while others want a sleek, modern design with all of today’s amenities. Your Realtor will be able to help you find new and old homes to tour, if you want to get a feel for each type of home in your area. Whichever you choose, make sure you do your due diligence and consider how all of the costs of owning the home will affect its affordability.
