NEW CONSTRUCTION vs RESALE in Oswego
I got to tour M/I Homes’ Piper Glen community in Oswego and walked through the Barclay Model- 2,488 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms + a full basement

What does the price difference actually look like between buying brand-new construction and buying comparable resale properties in Oswego?

Recent resale homes with similar bedroom, bathroom, and square footage profiles have been selling in the approx. $420K-$520K range, while new construction can come in a bit higher depending on the floor plan, finishes, and homesite.

But with new construction you’re paying for things like
🌟Brand new finishes
🌟New appliances and mechanicals
🌟Builder Warranty
🌟Choosing your finishes
🌟Modern Floor Plan
🌟No previous owners

So the real question is what matters MOST to a buyer? Would you choose the brand new Barclay or a similar resale home ?
