Even with a high bond, it was cheaper for us to buy new. We didn’t like the older styles of kitchen cabinets, flooring, landscaping, etc. The same older house, jasmine, would have been $20k+ more and then we would have to put money into getting it to our style inside and out.

After staying in the Spanish Springs area for a month, we like it here south of 44. A lot less traffic (few roundabouts), good access to Brownwood Square, Wildwood, Leesburg and Orlando for shoppping and the amenities we like.
