The Villages non-negotiable policy is great for them because it makes the transaction much easier and more profitable to complete, and less complaining about who paid what for their house.
True there is always a good reason they are discounted but not necessarily a bad reason. They usually have only a 2 car garage or have carpet in the living area, possibly on a busy corner, even a color that is not acceptable to all, or back up to non-Villages property, they are not defective in any way. If the "good reasons" for the discount don't bother you there are some great deals out there.
