If you haven't found a house that stands out to you, there's no need to be in a hurry. TV is such a big place, you likely will always have a range of homes to choose from in your price range.
Since you have mentioned that price is an important factor, be sure you are making an apples-to-apples comparison on price. Remember to add the bond, if any, to the price. Consider any upgrades that you would make that haven't already been made on a new or resale you are considering, such as attic stairs, solar tubes, special flooring, counter tops, or landscaping. Do you prefer a gas stove or do you have any gas appliances you plan to bring? Homes south of 466 are all electric. On resales, how old are the appliances? Are they near the end of their life cycle?
Also remember that the price on resales is negotiable. It is unlikely that you would need to pay the full asking price on a resale. Of course, price isn't everything, as long as it fits your budget. So buy something you'll love, even if that means you haven't found it yet.
Keep us posted on your search. All best wishes!

Not really....I am in Sabal Chase and have gas appliances. I think its more construction after a certain date went to all electric. I know there are homes in Duval that also are gas. Maybe you meant south of 466A they are all electric.
