For my view-
Not sure why you are considering buying now and moving in in two years. IF, you currently own a home and feel that prices will or are rising in the villages, if you check you will find that your current home is going up as well. So in two years you will get more for your current home and pay more for a home in the villages-a wash.
My wife wanted new and I wanted a resale. My logic was that a resale would cost less. Based on our looking that did not seem to be so. On a new house you need to be aware of the BOND. On our home it is roughly 20,000 so if you buy a home for say 350,000 YOU ARE ACTUALLY PAYING 370.000.
If, you are wondering-OF COURSE SHE GOT NEW. There are pluses to buying new. Main one is that everyone else in the area is new so you do not need to break into established cliques.
I recall one of the brokers saying the average person in the villages moves three times. FOR ME THAT IS SIMPLY NUTS. i would suggest you take your time and do it right ONCE.
