And as you will find out, a resale usually is a much better deal than a new home. Much lower bond is first and foremost. The homes that are new and south of 466A have bonds beginning at $25,000. Many resales are paid off or very low.

New homes require extra money for upgrades. Resales have the upgrades in place in many cases. Even a small thing like an outside keypad for garage door opening is optional. Mine came with one as a resale.

Always get a Villages Properties agent AND a MLS agent from just outside The Villages. Neither can show each other's properties and you want as large a choice as possible.
