Here’s our buying experience. Had an MLS and Villages realtor.
Villages realtor showed a home last fall my wife LOVED. We estimated it was overpriced by about $30,000 to 40,000, so we didn’t even make an offer. The house sat for 6 months.
Fast forward to now, same house listed on MLS, $50,000 less than with Villages. We would have absolutely bought the house at the price now, but we already found a house.

My theory is the Villages overprices existing homes, so buyers think the new places are a bette buy.
