Have a REAL agent in addition to the Villages agents. That will give you access to a LOT of additional and varied postings.

And NEW home can cost a LOT more than resales. Starting with the $30,000 bond, landscaping, etc. No squares to go to down there, etc etc.
As someone that has moved DOWN THERE you have no idea what you are talking about. Things are moving fast and within a couple of years, this will be the best place to live unless you are to old and set in your ways.
PS the cost is going up as fast for resales as it is for new and you can build for no more cost or spend as much as you want to have the perfect new home with non of the resale house problems like plumbing and roof replacement.
