I was sure new builds were a bad deal until I talked to a guy at a show home in Summerside
I met this older guy named Dave while looking at a show home in Summerside last month. He was a retired plumber, and we got talking about the house's PEX piping. He said, 'Look, I've fixed leaks in 50-year-old houses in Bonnie Doon. The peace of mind from a 10-year warranty on all this new stuff is worth the price tag for me now.' He showed me the access panel for the main shutoff, something my 1980s bungalow in Mill Woods doesn't even have. I always thought you paid a big premium for a new house and got less yard. But he made me see it as paying to avoid the surprise $8,000 foundation job. Has anyone else bought new here after years in an older home?
