It would take many, many years to make up for the difference in energy costs to come to a saving of $25,000 just in bond difference. Add in the ability to get a CBS house (after being checked out by a home inspector) for a lot less money than a new house (by being able to negotiate with the seller), not paying for upgrades that are really basic items, and IMHO you have a better deal.
Of course, like I always say, lots of people love having a brand new never lived in home. I have done that and it is a great feeling. This is NOT to criticize anyone at all.
I might have even gone the new home route myself - but it was necessary to move in to The Villages ASAP for reasons.
No matter if you are in a brand new house or a re-sale house, The Villages is a great place to be with wonderful people everywhere.
