Mixed feelings between buying new or old

I’m trying to figure out what is the best decision between an older or newer condo. Here’s the facts:

Older: 1886 sq ft Built 1990 All brick exterior Systems are 8-12 years old Has three separate living areas Price $245k Needs new kitchen but would work within existing footprint

New: 1695 sq ft Will be completed February 2023 Cement board siding Green certified Only has one open living area Price $327k Downside is the units are very close together and we give up separate living areas which could be challenging with a teen

We’re talking about a $500/mo price difference.

Both built by reputable builders. Newer one is green certified.

What day you? Which one is better financial decision? Is it hard for us to adjust to shared living space after years of everyone having their own space in a SFH?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
