I've avoided it. I don't really care for the look of modern shit and you know it will look heavily dated in less than a decade when whatever new bird brain kitchen fad hits.

you know what you're getting with new homes, and they're generally built to be min-maxed in ways that normal people actually want (so they will sell)
whereas if you buy an existing home there are always going to be weird random things that don't make sense for you because the previous owners remodeled it in ways to meet their particular preferences. and you're paying for those things (that you don't want)

An actual custom built home where the builder didn't use materials just a step above entry level home Depot shit is world's different.
We just bought a very nice early 80s PNW contemporary. Not exactly my favorite style, but I can really appreciate the level of thought that went into the details and small things like joints on the molding. A lot of custom homes not are just modified tract house plans.
Whatever you do please don't buy a place with those faucets over the fucking stove.
