It all depends upon the "value" a buyer assigns to a homes features. How much value do you put on a house that is located in a quiet, established neighborhood as opposed to a having a TURNPIKE in your backyard? Or loud, construction vehicles kicking up dust for the next several months? Do you play a lot of golf? Between the 6's are your best bet for quick, easy access to most of the executive and Championship courses. You also have to remember that new homes come with a bond. Some of those $220k new villa's have a $32,000 bond AND an new $1,000 line item on your property tax bill (Wildwood tax).
