I would not try to but a resale 'sight unseen', at a minimum you need an inspection report by YOUR inspector, you time to find a suitable house, plan where furniture will go, IF you will bring furniture with you etc. As noted, there are sites where you may be able to get a list of potential homes to look at and schedule a trip to see the houses. Closing will take some time unless you are paying cash. You will require time to pack and move, and you will need to find a suitable mover (I suggest one that does not use a transfer station). `
Also, you will probably need 2 realtors, one for MLS and maybe one for houses listed with the villages, with the recent changes in the way the realtors work I have no idea how this works now.
