PeteDZ-

I strongly suggest that you use both a Villages Property agent and a MLS Realtor. Neither can show each other's listings.

Pre-owned is the way to go. There are a couple of great homes for sale in the Village of Glenbrook on the Glenview Fox Run golf course with great views of water and the golf course with no one in back of you. The homes are on Talley Ridge Drive.

With buying a pre-owned, you can negotiate with the buyer on price. New homes, you pay list price. Bond is very low on the Talley Ridge homes ($2,500) vs around $23,000 on a new home. You will find upgrades already in the houses that you would pay a lot extra for in a new home.

Hope this helps.
