New Construction vs Resale in SoCal: HOA, Mello-Roos, Upgrades + The Best Choice for You (LA/OC/IE)

Описание: Model home vs fixer-upper? In SoCal, the real cost is HOA + Mello-Roos + upgrades + commute.
Watch this before you choose new construction vs resale—I’ll show you the simple monthly-cost framework to decide fast.

Trying to choose new construction vs resale in Southern California? Model homes look perfect—until you add HOA, Mello-Roos taxes, upgrades, lot size, and commute. Resale can be a better location—until you price out repairs, older systems, and renovations.

In this video, I break down the real pros/cons for LA, Orange County, and the Inland Empire, then show how to compare monthly life (not just purchase price): mortgage + taxes + HOA + insurance + utilities + maintenance. You’ll also get a simple 4-question framework to decide which option fits your budget, timeline, and stress level.

Note: costs vary by community and change over time—always verify current HOA/tax assessments and builder incentives.
