There is no negotiations on new houses. Sometimes, there are price reductions but they are usually just a selling gimmick.
My suggestion is to work with an "outside realtor" as well as a Villages Realtor. The Villages Realtor can only show houses listed by Villages Realty and the outside realtor can only show houses not listed by Villages Realty. I bought my house 1 year ago from ERA Tom Grizzard agency (Mike Herman) on Hwy 441 in Lady Lake. I live in Glenbrook in a beautiful home built in 2002. There is only a $2,300 bond left on the house as compared to several of my friends who have new homes purchased the same time and have bonds of $20,000. My bond payment this year was only $435 as compared to their $1,650.
"Used" houses can usually be negotiated in price with the owner and landscaping in established neighborhoods is mature and there is no construction dirt or noise like in new neighborhoods.
We love The Villages.
