We tried to buy a pre owned home with a pool at a price that was within our budget, and looked long and hard and could not find one. However, we were able to find a pre owned home with room for a pool, then build a brand new pool, and still came all in well under our budget. Based on that experience, I would say that in the Villages, you would most likely recover your investment if you sold the home.
