The Villages doesn’t take contingencies. You can put a deposit on a lot and take up to a year to start building. If you can’t build within a year you lose the lot. They don’t refund your money, but will (might?) let you move it to another lot. On already-built homes TV sets a closing date (usually about 30 days out) and you have to close when they want to close. They might be a little flexible with the closing date to accommodate your travel/moving schedule, but they’re not very flexible. Again, no refund of your deposit if you aren’t able to close on the house.

You are right as usual!
