I am really getting frustrated trying to buy a home in The Villages! We have a good realtor we are working with and we go to open houses, but EVERY home we try to buy is either taking offers for 3-4 days or already sold. Why do they list a home at $310,000 and we offer $315,000 the realtor calls the owner and is told that they already have higher offer? What happened to the days of honesty and integrity when a full price offer was acceptable? I am losing interest in TV because of this and am disgusted with the bidding wars now taking place. I hope the economy tanks (which is on its way) and maybe these "premium properties" will tumble also.
