It all depends on what's right for you. I didn't even want to buy a brand new house because I wanted everything already installed and if there were any defects, I wanted them known about and repaired already. I wanted to move in and live, not work on a house.
I've been here 4.5 years - the house was built in 1997. Except for normal maintenance and some things I've added (steps to the lake, fence) I've not put a dime into working on it. I like it that way
