Seeing as a number of you have purchased a new home in the last year or 2 or in also in the process now.
What questions (besides the general ones) should be asked when talking to a realiter about then home? or looking back at your purchase, What would you have done differently or how would you change things the next time you buy a new home.
theres 2 places that were really looking into, one is in Thornton and is about 2 years old with a previous owner. And the other is brand new that has never been lived in yet by anyone (being sold by a realestate agent not the builders)
any other advice is appriciated

When buying a pre-owned home I cannot stress enough the value of a home inspection. The house inspector knows what to look for when looking a house over and even a house two years old may have defects that have been undiscovered until now.
I have no experience buying new so I leave that to others more knowledgable than I ;)
