The long-term maintenance costs of new homes versus resale homes can vary depending on several factors, and buyers should consider these factors when evaluating overall affordability: Age and Condition: New homes typically require fewer immediate repairs and maintenance tasks compared to resale homes, which may have older systems and components that need updating or replacing. However, over time, both new and resale homes will require maintenance and repairs. Buyers should consider the age and condition of the home's major systems, such as HVAC, plumbing, and roofing, when estimating long-term maintenance costs. Warranty Coverage: Many new homes come with warranties that cover certain systems and components for a specified period, providing added protection against unexpected repair costs. Buyers should review the details of the warranty coverage and understand what is included and excluded. Resale homes may not come with warranties, but buyers can consider purchasing home warranty plans to provide some level of coverage for existing systems and appliances. Energy Efficiency: New homes are often built with energy-efficient features and technologies that can help lower utility costs over time. These features may include high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, insulation, windows, and appliances. Resale homes can also be upgraded to improve energy efficiency, but buyers should factor in the cost of these upgrades when estimating long-term utility expenses. Condominium Fees: Some new homes are part of planned communities or developments with homeowner's associations that charge monthly or annual fees for maintenance of common areas, amenities, and community services. Buyers should consider these Condo fees when evaluating the overall affordability of a new home. Resale homes may also be subject to Condo fees, depending on the neighborhood or condominium complex. Resale Value: While new homes may require fewer immediate maintenance costs, they may also depreciate in value more quickly than resale homes. Resale homes, especially those in established neighborhoods with desirable amenities and schools, may hold their value better over time. Buyers should consider the potential resale value of both new and resale homes when evaluating long-term affordability.
In summary, buyers should carefully evaluate the age, condition, warranty coverage, energy efficiency, HOA fees, and resale value of both new and resale homes when estimating long-term maintenance costs and overall affordability. Consulting with a real estate agent or home inspector can provide valuable insights into these factors and help buyers make informed decisions.

Home prices in Canada are forecast to gain a bit this year and rise further in 2025 on relentless demand for housing amid scant new supply and prospects for interest rate cuts later in 2024, according to a Reuters poll of experts. The outlook has stayed broadly unchanged since the last survey in November, despite market expectations that the first rate cuts from most major central banks, including the Bank of Canada (BoC), will come later than estimated a few months ago. After surging more than 50% during the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to near-zero interest rates and a panic rush by existing homeowners to find more space, Canadian home prices have fallen about 14% from an early 2022 peak, including a brief period when they rose again.
