As I have said in previous threads, I believe the best bang for your buck is a resale home in an established neighborhood.

In a resale home, the price is negotiable. A new home is not negotiable!

Established neighborhoods do not hold surprises as to what may be built by you.

Bond will be much lower or may be completely paid off. New home, the bond will be $23,000 to over $50,000. This will save LOTS of money for you.

Mature landscaping vs no landscaping.

By all means, get a home with a golf cart garage!

Use BOTH a Villages Realty agent and a MLS agent! Neither can show each other's listings. You do not have to be sneaky about this. It is widely accepted and used.

Villages of Glenbrook, Caroline, Virginia Trace, and Mallory Hill are great communities and centrally located to Lake Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs by golf cart.
