That sounds about right, but my observation would imply that those percentages reflect the number of listings each entity gets. The Villages RE has a number of advantages - Every new home was sold by TV so when the initial buyers want to sell they have an established relationship with a TV salesperson - The Villages website is the go to resource for most people investigating purchase in TV, so it is natural for them to begin researching homes by going to the homes tab on the website first - The best real estate (front and inside front page) on the Daily Sun classifieds section is reserved for Villages resales and the back two pages of the front section for Villages new sales. - Everyone who comes for a lifestyle preview is assigned a TV agent, who has the first chance to develop a positive relationship - The radio station advertises the Villages open houses each day.
These advantages don't assure the Villages Sales will sell quicker or at all, but they do give them a head start with many people.
