There is no such thing as the best price as the person above just said. Or you can look at is previous sales in the same area that you want a home to at least know you're in the reasonable same price per square foot.
Homes in The villages are at least 200% more than other homes in communities nearby simply because people want the villages. Home is here that are 600,000 would be $300,000 in other communities nearby that are much smaller than have very nice ammenities but don't have free golf or 3,000 clubs to join so that is another choice you want to consider.
Location is extremely important because the new sections are sometimes very close to the turnpike noise but the old sections are older and more crowded but have more shopping.
Someone with a wife will probably realize that she wants something brand new but they don't customize brand new homes here anymore other than maybe paint colors and floor choices . It's a high demand situation unfortunately where you don't have much choice and everything seems to be in a lottery system. So if you want to true value you have to go used and even then you're not going to get a real deal.
There are many other communities that are perfectly acceptable and nice places to retire and you probably could get a deal but that means saving $20,000 on a house and is that really matter to you?
