According to our agent, they sell more houses in the summer. Her rational was that people here in the summer are here to buy. People here in the winter are here to vacation and be look e loos.

I think your best values are in this order:
New homes
Preowned homes by TV
Preowned homes be outside agents

My rational: New homes are extremely affordable right now assuming you like the area where the new home is located and you dont need immediate large landscaping (even taking the bond into account).

If I were going to list my home I would list with an outside agent. They cannot show any new homes. When you compare what you get new vs preowned it is hard to buy preowned. Thus the homes listed by non villages agents seem to be higher priced.
