I'm on my third house and I can tell you buying new costs a lot more in the long run than a nice used home.....

I agree, but there is definite joy in buying/building a brand new home having no Granny decor and no smells from other people or pets in it.
Many people here have never had a brand new home before, and now they finally get to experience that and seeing all their decades of hard work and saving/investing turn into a joyful new home.
If most buyers coming in wanted used homes, TV certainly wouldn't be building 2,000 more new ones in Fruitland Park and 800 more new ones along 466-A and several hundred in Marion County along 42.
