It depends on where you live and the type of home you are looking to live in. Currently in the Hudson Valley the value of a brand new home is enormous. The homes are turnkey and have some really great features available. When comparing to a similar home that is at the same price it is always a winner. With the old home things are in need of repair or updating. The new homes are complete with NY State Builders Warranty. New homes only seem to be slightly higher in price. When you add into an older home the repairs, and energy issues the value is enormous. Everything is done and you get to make choices during the building process. Who Doesn't Love Shiny and New?

It's cheaper
You buy stuff from them even if the same stuff would have been cheaper to buy online or from some other place.
If you want to buy a land then the biggest issue is your favourite location. It is not easy to find our favourite location. It needs lots of time and money where as purchasing an existing home is easy. Building a new home does not offer the same convenience as buying an existing house. All you need to do is, find the top realtors or real estate agent in your area and get your dream house. Building a new house costs you more than buying an existing house. So I think it is better to buy a home. Rest of depends on your choice. You will make much better decisions than us.
We can buy new Bomber airplanes, or we can build a hospital in each city.
It's always cheaper to buy a used home than to build new. It's much like purchasing a car.
It depends what you want if you buy a car from a auction you will most lightly get it cheaper. But it proably cheaper to buy one!
cheaper to re build but may not last as long
Buy a new one, they are so inexpensive right now that it would not make sense to build one, however, if you want to spec it out with special features, then build it because then it is cheaper.
always cheaper to make it at home if that's what you are asking.

You can't buy housing wire cheaper than Home Depot or Lowes because both of these places price match. Building suppliers may have cheaper wire, but you can buy it for the same price at either of these places.
buy the materials yourself and build it yourself its cheaper
Well to be honest it's both worth building a repo unit because you can buy one cheaper than you can build it. Companies now construct these units do fast that a brand new unit is only about $2,400 !! That's cheaper than you can buy all the material & build it!
Yes they are but you can't buy clothes 4 them! They are much cheaper though! you can buy a little sweater for them now.
Absolutely! If you are familar with building then all you have to do is buy the lumber and materials. You will not have to pay labor if you hire a professional.
It all depends on what type of bench you are looking for, and the type of material that the bench is made out of. If you have a ready supply of quality wood, it may be much cheaper to build a bench. The saving will likely be greater than $25.
