MLS is not allowed to sell a new home here. There are no changes of any kind to the contract on a new home. Period and Amen. Once you absorb that information, your life get's simpler.


AND realtors who aren't allowed to sell new homes post on this forum in many ways. Many are not fans of the developer. Need I say more?
You are right in most cases, Gracie. However, there are outside realtors buying up manufactured homes in the historic district, removing them and replacing them new homes. So there are actually a small number of new homes for sale that you won't find on the Properties of The Villages website.

I'm not sure that this is allowed in other areas, but it is going on up here.
