THEY DO PRIORITIZE NEW! The Villages agent I used ONLY showed me new homes and essentially REFUSED to show me preowned homes no matter how many times I requested he show me PREOWNED HOMES! He did not show me a single preowned home in a MONTH!

The developer primarily needs and wants to sell what it builds new. DUH! It only resells preowned homes as it must as a sideline. The PUSH is to sell the newly built product and their agents are incentivized to PUSH the PRODUCT!

Also he NEGLECTED to mention the bond, only telling me the "price" of a home. Clearly, the COST of a new home in TV is the PRICE plus the BOND! When asked he could not even give me the actual AMOUNT of the BOND, hemming and hawing and mumbling about it...
