Traditionally and historically, homebuyers would expect to pay a premium for a brand new home. But in recent years, the cost of acquiring a brand new property has fallen more in line with resale property prices, helping to boost demand for new homes in the process. What's more, new build homes are generally not a bad bet when it comes to investing in residential property.
