If you go to VLS and type in the model of home you like, all available come up. You will see most comparables (same sqft, flooring and the like) are within the same price range. But, there will be one or two who want $50,000 - $200,000 more. Lot is not better, no pool, or extended lanais. They are just asking more. They are hoping a buyer who wants to live in that particular village will pay much more to do that. Sometimes that strategy works.
