Q: Is it cheaper to build or buy a house?

<div>Typically, it&rsquo;s more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buy an existing home than it is to build a new one</a>. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it&rsquo;s a very new one). You&rsquo;re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. </div>

I DO NOT FEEL THAT THEY SPENT ENOUGH TIME DOING THE LITTLE THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE (LIKE MAKING SURE THE WALLS AND THE FLOOR MEET ALL THE WAY, FIXING HOLES IN THE DRY WALL, OR PUTTING ANY FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE HOUSE).
