I'm curious to know when those homes sold.
We bought a designer in Tamarind Grove in late 2011. We had asked the agent to also show us resales, but he showed us a couple he/we knew we wouldn't like. We ended up with new.
Right after they opened Fenney, we decided to downsize because of a new purchase overseas making us snowbirds. We listed with the TV agent we had used to buy. I was leery because of his reluctance to show us resales initially, but he gave us a good sales pitch on resales.
We signed the listing. The house never hit the market and was sold in less than 24 hours for mucho over the asking price. More than one offer over asking.
I think we were in the right place at the right time. Fenney was brand new, with no bridges or town square, so the agents were pushing resales, and people wanted to be in the thick of things.. I believe that has changed now.
So perhaps it makes a difference where you are and when you want to sell. Everyone's situation is different, and anecdotal doesn't count for much IMO.
