So now is the best time to make your move and there are many pros and cons to consider. A pre-existing home that has been well cared for will offer many advantages and could be a real bargain. You may not have to worry about landscaping the lawn or adding small conveniences such as organized closets. Many home owners already have these extras in place. You'll get the benefit of improvements that have been made along the way, such as the addition of a family room or a lovely garden space. And a pre-owned home will often give you more square footage for the money.

But for some, there is nothing like new construction. It usually costs a bit more per square foot, but you get to choose all the options and the final decor. And since no one else has occupied the house, you may feel more secure that there will be fewer repairs in the first years giving you more time to devote to fun projects.

Whatever your decision, be sure to get a home inspection. This is important even for a brand new home. And for peace of mind, consider a home warranty that covers the home's systems and appliances for at least a year.
