Both houses we've bought have been over 10 years old, so I can't comment on new builds directly, but a co-worker of mine is having brutal issues with a new build they've been in for 2 years. They had a major plumbing leak, somewhat serious finishing issues, and last month their furnace kicked the bucket. Now, they have said the builder has been good to deal with, but it seems to have been one issue after another.
Just food for thought that newer doesn't always mean less hassle.
