I will say that if you have a furnished home you can rent for about $4000 or more during the season. The rental demand is high for the 4 month season then drops off dramatically during the off season.

The newer homes are further away from everything and at 68 do you want all the added expense of a new home. By buying resale you can get move in ready in an area closer to everything that makes the villages a good place to retire. Appreciation of resales is loosely tied into new home construction as long as they are there prices appreciate slower.
