WHY can't I find a entire list of ALL homes for sale in The Villages?????

I am getting so frustrated!!!!! I have been trying to get as much information as possible about the homes for sale in TV. before we arrive on the 14th of this month for our initial information gathering visit. We are planning to rent for a month in October before we buy. We have spent 24 hours there visiting a friend about a month ago, drank the water and got bit.

I have read the listings from the Villages on new and used homes. I have read lists, each is different, for FSBO, I have tried to figure out foreclosure lists, I have seen TWO good sites from different realtors, and as I read, take visual tours, make notes, I realize that it would be so much easier if there were a MLS list that had every home for sale on it.

Now before you send me to past threads, which I have read,(and they are excellent) many from last year, I want to point out, as boring as it is, each of us makes this journey starting now. I know that a dependable realtor is the key, and I have read many of your favorites, however, I don't want to "marry" one before I get down there.

I realize I am venting.

Why isn't there a MLS list with everything on it?

I wish for a full list for how long a listing has been up, for clear pictures (with shades OPEN), for all costs including bonds etc.

I am NOT a property virgin. We have lived in 12 houses in our lives so far and built eight of them.

Can anyone guide me?
