Why are the developers so rigid? I was told they won't help w closing or any points. No haggling of any kind?

Look around. If you live in TV you live in the largest and most diverse in terms of choices of real estate not just in the country, but on the planet. Nothing else even comes close.
We've been here now for four years and TV has exceeded our expectations in just about every respect. Of course there are folks who complain about this shadowy figure known as The Developer. They also complain not only about the prices of new and used homes but also about the quality of construction, homes too close to the expressway, road conditions, tee times, restaurant quality, overcrowding--you name it. But despite the complaints, people are flooding into The Villages at a rate greater than any other like-sized community in the nation.
Travel & Leisure had an interesting article on just that fact this past April, and phrased it in a way that I had never seen before: in-to-out ratio.
"The Villages in Central Florida, known as the largest retirement community in the world, had the highest in-to-out ratio, 4.38, meaning that for every one hundred people who leave the city, another 438 move in. “The Villages is a racehorse that's outpacing every other city in the country for growth."
And...despite the naysayers...that ratio shows little sign of declining.
Nobody is perfect. But I can say with absolute confidence that I trust the way The Developer does things, far more than I trust the judgment of any of the naysayers.
