Congratulations on selling.

Have you considered a re-sale home in The Villages? Lots of good reasons to do a re-sale instead of new. The re-sale is negotiable in price with the seller; new homes are not negotiable. Re-sales have much less bond payment; mine was $2,300 as compared to $25,000 and up to $50,000 bond for a new house. No construction going on around you (nails in your car tires are very common in new villages), mature landscaping, upgrades already in the house instead of paying for upgrades and you see the neighborhood already complete.

There are a couple of beautiful designer Lantana homes for sale right now on Talley Ridge Drive on a golf course with a water view. They are being sold by The Villages Properties. Check them out.

I would also recommend having a Villages agent as well as a MLS agent from outside The Villages. Neither can show each others properties within The Villages. It is good to see all available. New homes are only sold by The Villages Properties - at full price.
