We do not have an agent yet (no need for an agent to contact us unless they have a coming soon property). Any advice is appreciated and hope this type of post is allowed. Cannot wait to join the community!
Edited for price range - $230k to $325k

Seems like you have done a through plan. Twelve visits to the villages. We did four and that is more than many others.
Others have posted RUSH prices are going up. That depends on your situation. If, you have a home that you will be selling, well that too is going up in value.
New vs resale. I wanted a resale, wife wanted new. Of course we bought new. Building codes have changed. A newer home will have the roof better secured to the home to resist hurricane damage among other things. A resale, all the hidden whatevers will likely have shown up such as foundation cracks due to improper site preparation etc.
Landscaping, new, some of them were done with no planing as to what they will look like when they mature from the cute little plants that are sold. Many homes only 8-10 year old you wonder how they got so overgrown. Truly simple, badly planed.
