Well, 3 years ago I bought a home in The Villages that was built in 2002 and is in Glenbrook, north of 466. Best choice I could have made. The house has every built in you could imagine, great location, no construction going on, mature landscaping, 1 year warranty on everything, almost no bond at all, and best of all, I was able to negotiate price with the seller.

New home means a lot of extras you want have to be paid for, construction for months around you equals dirt, dust, and maybe nails on the roadway, lawn and landscaping are minimal, bond of around $23,000 or more, and not able to negotiate price.

For me, it was an easy choice - but each to their own.
