would think remodeling is cheaper
If the existing house is livable, then it doesn't matter as much if the project takes longer and/or costs more, and it's possible to "get away with" fewer permits (both in the "they can't see you" sense and the "not required" sense).
I often think that if I had bought an existing house, I would be done by now, and heavily into gardening the rest of the lot. Instead, it's still construction season.
