A lot of people say well pre-owned homes have lower bonds, have made improvements, etc. but I still would choose a new home in a new neighborhood over a pre-owned and I think that is why there are so many pre-owned homes on the market for 3 to 6 months or even longer.
According to the budget letter submitted by the county administrator each year, these are the numbers of single-family building permits issued:
2019: 2,727
2020: 2,797
2021: 3,882
2022: 3,708
2023: 1,300
2024: As of August 2024, appears to be an increase over 2023

Not all single-family homes were built in the Villages but many of them were. The budget letter giving a total for 2024 should be available in the July/August timeframe.
