Happy New Year!
Literally hundreds of opinions have been written on this subject here on TOTV, but I think the bottom line is, that if you are serious about coming here, you owe it to yourself to explore both the new builds and the resales. Look at both Villages realty listings as well as MLS, meaning you have to consult with two different agents. No one seems to have problems with that.
The poster above mentioned the usual reasons why people build, plus the fact that for some it's a rather exciting adventure. Resales can be less expensive, perhaps with a lower bond and lots of add ons inside and out. Some are in gorgeous neighborhoods with mature landscaping, which can't be duplicated in new neighborhoods.
Good luck! Whatever you do, if you move here you'll probably think later it's the smartest thing you've done in a long time, or maybe ever.
