We purchased a pre-owned Amarillo in Duval in Jul 09, but the deal fell thru because the sellers went into foreclosure. My husband sent me down to The Villages in early Dec to search, because I was scheduled to start work in January. I went out with a Village realtor, an MLS realtor, and on my own. Fell in love with an At Ease with the open kitchen, but would have had to wait 70 days to have one built. So I found a Bougainvillea in the Village of Bonita that could be ready by the middle of January. We moved in, and I started work 2 days later!
Everything happens for a reason - since we didn't close on our new home until January, we qualified for the $6,500 Homebuyers Credit.
