Default Where are Open Houses listed?

We will be arriving soon for a Lifestyle visit. We have already arranged for a TV sales person to show us some new homes to get a perspective of floorplans, etc. Since we won't be in buying mode for probably at least 6 months, I feel uncomfortable putting a real estate agent and the homeowners out by spending their time looking at resales which we almost certainly will not be in a position to buy. However, I feel that there is something to be gained from looking at resales - if for no other reason than to get ideas as to how other people have used the space, decorated and landscaped.

From looking at previous posts here, I get the impression that open houses occur on a daily basis around TV. My question is, how do we find these open houses? Someone indicated that they are not listed in the classified section of the Sun but rather are "posted" elsewhere. Would this be paid advertisements in the Sun? If so, would this be just the houses that are listed through The Villages sales office or do other Realtors also put open house ads in the Sun?
