Better than new...

First--thanks Jeff and Carl for reading my blog...which brings me to today and the topic you inspired! What's better than new? It's my favorite way to describe homes under 4 years old that have been very gently lived in by their owners. What makes them better than new? These owners have lived in these homes through all of the time-consuming and expensive tasks of upgrading lighting, painting (and painting and painting sheet rock until all the paint actually soaks in), repairing the inevitable nail pops, purchasing and installing window blinds, adding shelving, adding landscaping, nursing the sod, and essentially completing all the tedious details that a new construction home requires. What makes it "better than new" is the next owner benefits from all their hard work and still get what essentially will be a new house!! What a concept.
