Anyone know the sequence of villages being built in the new areas?

Will probably be ready to buy Sept/Oct.

Now as far as re-sales to date we don't see the bargains.

New are 135-140K on standard lots.

Resales are 130-150K I know you can say they made improvements, but those were their ideas not ours I also don't think the value should be added at its cost, their has to be depreciation. If you paid $5,000 for an improvement you may now say it adds $2,000 not 5K for example

Furniture to us is of no value (even if you counted it what's that worth USED 2-5K)

Unless someone points out out what were missing it looks like new is our direction.
Go to the Sumter County Appraisers website to find out what houses actually sold for. The asking price and the selling price could be substantially different. The other consideration is the bond. If you could find a resale without a bond, that could save you approximately $10,000.
