The villages sales people will tell you they can build a new place that’s cheaper than buying used. We bit and had them give us a bid and the quote included every cheap piece of flooring, carpet, counter tops, etc.. and it was $20k cheaper than a decked out used house. By the time we would replace all the cheap pieces with the pieces we really wanted, the new house would have been $60,000 more than the used home. I think it’s crazy to put cheap c$ap in to replace in the near future, you are paying twice for it
