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

<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>
