Laura.
If you read this forum a lot you may know that Boomer is very interested in investments. Well I just love real estate. Not my career but just an interest I have always had AND the FIRST thing I look at in the Daily Sun every day is the open house page. They have a page of 6 or 8 listings for new homes and another half page for resales every day except holidays.
Sweetie and I will go to an open house a couple of times a week. We know that the developers are always "tweaking" their home plans and we like to see what they have done that is different and new. We go to new houses not resales because that just seems....."nosy" I guess, to me.
There are always others like us who are at open houses who own in TV but just are interested in seeing a different floor plan or location.
There used to be balloons outside each open house but now I think they have started using a big sign. The agent inside has never tried to "sell" the house but is there to answer questions. I like the "no pressure" attitude of the Villages representatives. That really sold me.
Good luck Laura and enjoy your search.
