A good location means you feel good about the community and/or the resale value is high. Sometimes you cannot got both then the choise base on your own situation, how long you plan to lived in the house, etc.
For new and resale house, depends on longs of factor. Most resale house is in well established community, but you probably near waiting a while for the construction finish if you bought a new house.
Beaware the agent will always recommend resale house because that's how they can get the money from.
The last word, the location is most important than everything else.

I would avoid old house built 10 - 15 years ago.
I seems remember some article discussed this, and
saying the House Building Technology is so advanced
in this 10 years. I am a "tech-fan", so
Of cause, if you could find and afford a house
older then 80-100 years, that would be another
story

Not really. There won't be too much that you could notice it.
But another reason to avoid house 10-15 years ago is that the roof need to be replaced on 15 years, so if you plan to live 5 years in the house, don't buy house during 10-15 years.
Normally house build within 5 years is a good bet, but the quality of the house during last 5 years is so poor because of the house boom and lacking of the expertise.

That's not true. Building code and technologies have not been changed significantly in the last 15 years or so.

:lol2: When you buy a used house, you most likely have an established house. Landscaping is likely done. Your yard is likely fenced or hedged. Used homes are more likely in more convenient neighborhoods. When you buy a new house, you often have to build a fence, build a lawn, and landscape. These are extra costs. It also takes a couple of years to do them. The house may have problems which the builder have to go back and fix, if these problems are noticed before the warranty expires. New houses are also likely to built in locations that are far from the city.
Some advantages of owning a new house are that you can choose the layout that you like, and you are the first owner.

Resale house is more expensive than a new one now, go to new house sales center get a genral price, then look the resale house ad. Some resale (1~4 years old) may claim they are XX model(the builder is still saling that model), compare the price.
New house price already included GST. So the list price is what you need to pay.
