I would have to disagree based on our experience. As snowbirds we were looking for a preowned Patio Villa; we bought a little over a year ago and ended up with a preowned Designer for minimally more than the Patio Villas we had been looking at. Why? Because the sellers were, in real estate parlance, 'highly motivated.' We bought a house in a great central location and a lovely neighborhood with beautiful landscaping including large fruit-bearing trees, bond fully paid, water purification system and lots more extras installed, plus a garage full of tools and much more left in the house as well as furnished lanai and screened front porch, virtually all closing costs paid by the seller, and have yet to see, even with prices of new construction down so much, anything comparable....
