A lot of it depends on general location within the Villages as well, and timing doesn't hurt. Sometimes they want to sell off lots in a hurry, so prices are marked down, or there are closeouts to finish off a village. After the housing crisis a couple of years ago, there were some real good deals in the Village of Hemingway, although some of those lots turned out to be not as nice as expected, because of noise from the country club.
Right now, I wouldn't be suprised if the best deals on views would probably be with the re-sales. A friend recently bought a like-new designer turnkey block and stucco on a championship course south of 466 for a little over $300K, with little bond. They had been looking at other homes, some vinyl, with great views or privacy, with golf cart garages, for less than $200K, and of course the bonds are much less than on new homes.
