If you place any weight on Google hits, here are the figures:
"resale homes" gives 8.2x the number of hits for "pre-owned homes", and 35.5x the number of hits for "second-hand homes".

"pre-owned property" is simply incorrect! It is not used in the industry, but is used mainly in regulatory and statutory language!
