Same $300K Budget. Two Very Different Houses.

This video breaks down a question I hear constantly from buyers:

Should you buy a $300,000 new construction home, or a $300,000 existing home?

Used 300K Video:    • $300,000 for a House in 2026… Here’s the R...  

On paper, both cost the same.
In real life, they couldn’t be more different.

In this video, I walk you through a real-world comparison between a $300K new build and a $300K older resale home. I explain what buyers expect, what actually happens after inspections, and where people get caught off guard — especially with insurance, HOA fees, build quality, and long-term costs.

As a home inspector and licensed real estate agent, I see these decisions play out every week. Some buyers are thrilled. Others regret their choice within the first year.

This video is not about telling you which house to buy.
It’s about making sure you understand the trade-offs, the hidden costs, and the long-term consequences before you commit.

If you’re planning to buy a home in Florida — or anywhere in today’s market — this is a comparison you need to see.
