You were very fortunate when you purchased your house and it would seem that there was something better in your offer than the other three.

Yes, The listing/selling agent got both sides of the commission

It makes you wonder if that agent gave the results of comparable sales in the neighborhood, and shared the results with the seller. OR -- perhaps, because the times were at the bottom of a bad real estate market, she advised the seller to list at a low price to create interest and get the house sold.

She was an agent with at least 30 years experience and highly regarded

I believe at that time (1996), The Villages real estate cooperated with all brokers, and not only their own Villages' agents. Do you recall if that is correct during that time frame?

I don't have a clue

Don't take Zillow's estimate of house values to heart. Those figures are usually grossly overpriced.
Of course Zillow's estimates can be off the mark but based on recent sales one of which was two doors down this one is at present on the number.
