While looking at the various MLS sites, I find them to be less appealing and harder to use. The Villages site is easy and clear. I'm just trying to get a handle on everything before we actually make a purchase. Thanks!

Good questions, Trish. I am looking forward to the responses you get regarding why a person chooses to list with one vs. the other.

Two things that bug me about TV resales is they do not list the year the home was built or the model. The MLS listings have the year built and many name the model. Good luck in making your decision!
