Default New Home Prices

Hello. I came down to The Villages and I came close to buying a new home in the village of Dunedin. This was in 2016. The home model was the Whitney Villa. 3bd/2bath.

The price then was $229,000 plus a remaining bond of $16,244.

Now a similar home is about $279,000 plus bond. I know, of course, home prices have risen but is this rise about right over the last 4-5 years? Or is price of lumber and raw materials risen that much to drive the price up to his extent?

And with the bond on a new home, the prices may have risen beyond what I can afford.

What are your thoughts on new home prices? Thank you. MarvinH
