Are Newer Homes in Greenville, SC a Good Option for First-Time Buyers?

Some are drawn to homes that are just a few years old.
Why this comes up
Newer homes can offer:
* updated features
* modern layouts

Common things that trip buyers up
* thinking only brand new homes are worth considering
* not exploring all available options
* assuming newer homes are outdated
