What is the difference between a new construction home and a resale home?

New construction homes are brand-new; you buy the house from a homebuilder and get the added peace of mind of knowing that the homebuilder's support team is a phone call away. Additionally, when you purchase a new home, you do a final walk-thru, where you can point out issues that may need a fix, including minor things like paint issues or scratches on walls. When you buy a resale house, you purchase a family's old home. Resale homes usually come as they are; minor problems are yours.
