In considering new vs preowned, you need to consider that Florida is hard on building materials and such. Figure the life on items like roofs, HVAC's etc to be 50 to 70 percent of what your used to.
That is particularly important when DIY is less of an option.
We ended up building. The lot choice was ours, the builder would and will do virtually all of the add one before closing at a competitive price. These are all in at closing, where doing it after, you have to have ownership paper work to start and then find and get on their(the new company) list.
The time was important to us.

I heard that the Villages sales agents get no salary. they make 1.5% commission on there sales. The villages greaters get a salary but the sales agents work on commission. So, who can be sure? But this info came from a sales agent of the villages.
