For a long time running, Houston, Texas has been a highly desirable place to live. The city is home to a major port, helping to drive local industries and attracting a multicultural workforce. In fact, it is estimated that there is just shy of 100 different languages spoken by the highly diversified population.

If you are interested in moving to Houston, AKA “Space City”, in reference to NASA’s nearby facilities which conducts space exploration research, you have two choices, either buy a resale home or buy a new home.

When buying new, you have a ton of advantages. Such as getting a say in how your floorplan is laid out, choosing different options offered by the builder, and the comfort of knowing that your house is brand new. Not to mention all of the building materials, fixtures, and appliances are brand new too. But perhaps the best reason to buy new over pre-owned, is that you can buy a new house for the same price as a resale home!
