The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of buying a new home versus an existing home.
One of the reasons our homes were featured is they meet a distinct advantage to buying new. The Miller & Smith homebuyers interviewed for the article were downsizing but needed enough space to accommodate their college-age son.

The article also discussed some of the advantages to buying an existing home, including the following:
In the end, there’s no clear winner between buying a new home versus an existing home because there are advantages and disadvantages to both. The good news is, no matter what you decide, now is a great time to be a buyer thanks to remarkably low interest rates.
And if you decide to go new, we know the perfect place to start your search.
