One important point that has not been mentioned is that your taxes will be much higher if your Villages home is not your primary residence. Florida has tax incentive plans such as home steading and save our homes tax credits that are given for primary residence homes only. Bonds on new homes are higher than resales but I was told by my mortgage company that I could not put my bond amount in my mortgage as it is billed as a tax and not part of the purchase price. I lived in Connecticut before moving here and find The cost of living is much less than most places up north. Good luck.
