Sounds as though you had some really quick decisions to make. I am sure you will be happy, though.
My wife and I worked through a Villages Realty agent as well as a non-Villages agent so we could see both Village listed property as well as non-Villages listed properties. We ended up with a home sold through ERA Realty and we were able to negotiate price with the seller, get the closing date we wanted, and not be rushed. Also extremely low bond since the home is 9 years old in an established neighborhood.
When we first came looking at The Villages about 5 years ago, it was "look at a house, decide within 3 hours, or it was gone". It was also at full price at that time. Even in The Villages, the real estate bubble burst or at least fizzeled.
There are still some remarkable bargains in re-sale home in established neighborhoods for all kinds of houses.
