And used ones go quickly if they are clean, well presented and not overpriced.
I think that a realtor with a capital R is valuable in other places, but not here. It is what it is. On the new homes they will not take any lower offers or contingencies, end of story.
I am annoyed by the misinformation spread by people who can't sell new homes here. The Village agents don't have to lie, cover up stuff, mislead or snooker anyone. People really want to live here and they are coming in droves to live here.
I do not sell homes. I have never sold homes other than our own and we used realtors with a capital R back in Ohio ...Here we sold our first home in Hadley without an agent or realtor, and closed with a good law firm who charged us $700.
P.S. I live here,we have owned real estate for ten years here. Talk to a lot of people here.

I only related my own personal experience, no one else's.
The VLS agent with whom I dealt was and probably remains a highly successful agent. When asked he admitted he had been flown around by the Morse Air Force and treated to meals in the developer's private dining room - IMO as performance rewards.
If and when I return to buy I will use another VLS agent.
You are correct, Gracie; TV remains and has historically been a hot market ever since its early days. It is well run, planned and designed, expertly and efficiently developed, hence over-the-top appealing to its target market. TV literally sells itself! Furthermore, these days the Baby Boomer retirement age population bubble supercharges its sales and remarkable success.
