We bought a resale but it is just about one year old; the former owners had decided they wanted to live there full time but wanted a bigger place so they decided that they wanted a new house built. We were down there 2 years ago and looked at the model homes and fell in love with one-realtor kept saying what you see is what you get but he never said that included the furniture(had he said that my wife would have signed on the spot). I spent every day for two years looking at the homes for sale waiting to see that same model(they stopped making it)come up for sale. I was beginning to think it would never happen and then 3 months ago I saw it-showed it to my wife and she said buy it and we did. The former owners just moved into their new home this weekend. We will be visiting our new home in October and hopefully moving in full time next summer. It is not new but it is almost new!!
