A couple of answers...
Hi Laura,
We purchased a pre-owned in Duval in November '09. We're not ready to retire yet (I'm retired...wife is not).
We used a Village realtor and we were very happy with her efforts on our behalf. We also used a couple of outside MLS salespersons.
The prices on new homes are not negotiable. Sometimes though, prices are lowered on homes in neighborhoods that are being completed.
Prices on pre-owned are negotiable.
Our salesperson showed us both new and pre-owned. When she saw that we were leaning towards pre-owned, she didn't push new construction.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and encourage you to do the Lifestyle visit.
