Search all homes for sale We get a lot of questions regarding whether people should build new properties or buy resale properties in Tyler. There is not really a straight answer to this question, and it really depends on your specific situation.  The thing about new properties is that they tend to depreciate in value as soon as you move into them - just like cars. If you plan on staying in a new home for a while, you have a good shot at recouping some of the value that you lost. Also, if you're on a tight budget, then building a new home may be difficult. Small things like upgraded light fixtures and granite counter-tops can add up quickly, and before you know it, your budget will be broken. Also, there are lots of extra expenses that don't relate directly to the home. We're talking about landscaping and even the furniture that you choose to fill the home with. These costs can add up extremely quickly. If you're on a tight budget, it may be best to look for a resale home because you know exactly what you're purchasing.
