* Although these costs are only estimates, you can easily see the
value of add-ons to pre-existing homes when considering the cost of
a new home.
* Another major benefit of purchasing an existing home is the size
of the remaining BOND which will generally be lower or possibly paid
OFF!
* Do you like to cook with electric or gas.  Most new homes are totally
electric while most existing homes are set up for gas and/or electric.
