As with everything else their are pro's and con's to both new and re-sale. I have bought a few different homes in the Villages and I stay on top of the market. In my experience you can always do better on a re-sale over new. Part of that is what has been completed by someone else, part is being able to negotiate on price, and part is lower or no bond. However the difference is usually less then 10% house for house. So new you may pay a little less in visible price, but once all the hidden costs are identified, re-sale is almost always a better buy. There will be some exceptions to that, but very few.
So buy what you want and as always in real estate, location, location, location is all that matters.
