Gracie: ANY type of contract is binding unless there is some type of disclosure written in.

Real estate contracts are all different, and that is particularly true of The Villages' contract. It is like no other and can be very daunting and confusing. Most buyers are not that seasoned and it's a whole new experience for them. We all would like to believe that a contract protects us but that is not always the case. In many cases, it protects the seller much more than the buyer. Such is the case with The Villages' contract. Even if you read it carefully, it is confusing.

It is the job of an agent to sit down with their buyer and explain everything in the contract, from soup to nuts. It is my understanding that is not always the case here, unfortunately.

It's very sad that the OP is having a problem. I would love to know what the issue is but he may not be able to say. Regardless, I wish him good luck and hope he can work things out.
