If I ever have to get another house, if at all possible I will buy
existing construction rather than new construction.  Everyone I know
who bought a new house from a developer had lots of problems needing
fixes and the builders--even established good ones--took their time
fixing them, if ever.  Some established builders ended up going
bankrupt, and the buyer had to finish fixes on their own (some
buyers who put down deposits lost them.)
