I think that one may have a little issue (looks like power lines right behind?). It is the only one much under 200K.

But I do agree that there are some good prices on new right now (plus bond of course).

I just joined the forum. We are looking to buy a house in TV during the slump in prices. I heard that if you buy north of 466 there is no bond, thus more savings. Our salesman told us it does not matter because on a new house they "tape" your house (measure it) and value it much lower than if you buy a resale. Therefore, he says, they come out about the same. What do you think of that? He also said they tax at 100% in Marion county and 85% in Sumpter county.

Thanks
