Just another note. Being a former Villages rep and a realtor from Pa forever consider this. In The Villages you will get a new home usually for less money than a pre owned. We’ve been here for ten years and are on our 4th new home. The profit made from the first three put me over the top to be able to retire. You usually will make more money buying new than pre owned if you are looking at it from a monetary point of view. Just don’t over improve and sell within 2-5 years. As far as commission. Your villages rep makes the same commission whether they sell you a new or pre owned home so it really doesn’t matter to them. The reason people have the impression that Villages reps only like to sell new is because there is so much more new inventory. For example if you are looking for an Iris. In pre owned there might be 3 -7 in new we could have 30. So when you see your 3 pre owned and 15 new it gives that appearance but it IS NOT true. My business was always 50/50 between new and pre owned.
