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.

You speak the truth. I would love our first house to be new...I love new..I also understand fully that the bond may be looked at as an extension of the homes price. I just can't get comfortable financing a bond. If I buy new we would be able to pay for the house but finance a bond...not happening, not now. I have had so many people contact me with their FSBO homes that look great but the bond balance is high or its in the wrong spot. Wherever we land I'm sure it will be fine but it will be no bond and I hope it's an MLS home because our realtor has busted his butt for us. The other one The Villages agent not so much. Time will tell.
