The closing costs are significantly higher with a new home because TV includes several charges for water, electical, and sewer connections that are not there with a re-sale. Secondly, there's a Florida inpact fee if you are moving to TV from out of state. In 12/04, our closing costs on a new CYV were just over $13K. My mother purchased a re-sale a year later. She was moving up from Ft. Lauderdale and her closing costs were around $5K.
