Don't understand your post. Would think upgraded appliances are worth it to the user (the owner) whether installed prior to occupancy or after. We upgraded our fridge last year, kept the old one in the laundry room. It's sure worth it to me.

Are you saying it doesn't make a difference in your tax assessment if you do it before closing? Doesn't it make a difference in the purchase price and thus in the tax assessment (and tax bill) if you do it thru the Villages prior to closing?
