It's very hard to find a comparable home as there is such a wide spread in the value of the lot the home is on. Also, homes that are hard to find sell very quickly unless there is a problem. Example, TV has only 5 pre-owned 4 bedroom Woodside models that are not pending and only 6 pre-owned Ivy models and 4 of them are in the undesirable villages of Pine Hills and Pine Ridge along with one only having a 2 car garage. That's it, in all of The Villages pre-owned listings there are only 11 of those models available that are not pending, the ones in desirable areas on desirable lots sell with in a few days, some times the same day. Corner lots are hard to sell as are kissing lanais or designers without a golf car garage. For every home that takes 90 days to sell there is one that is sold in one day and that's and average of 45 days on the market. When you buy a home, just don't look at the price, look at the desirability when it comes to re-sale.
