Resales are looking better all the time. Sorry to say this.
* Assuming apples-to-apples comparison. Surely Citizens isn't charging you any discount/closing points at 5% interest! If they are, it sounds like an absurdly uncompetitive interest rate! Did they estimate closing costs??

Well, we're done. We asked for a simple one-liner exempting us from penalty for 15 days after the closing day in the event someone else causes a delay. No go. The really problem was no one at our level has any authority. The folks at the Sales office can do nothing. It's all at the corporate level and "the family". I went into this with rose-colored glasses, expecting a wonderful experience. Needless to say, I've lost all trust and respect for The Villages organization.
There's a couple of articles in the today's paper on Bernie Madoff and his son's suicide. There's a guy that had all the wealth and power anyone could want and he continued to deceive and cheat. My wife asked how he must feel in prison now. No different, I suspect. I only think of one word - evil. Unhappily, that's my new view of the family now. I apologize for the strong language, it's just my perspective. I could just say it's greed but that's not strong enough for me. I don't ever recall being so disappointed.
