I don’t go on the TOTV website a lot and only now see this thread from a couple weeks back. It also took me a long long time to read through it. People can buy -- if they decide to buy -- whatever they want related to what they can afford to spend. That’s a given. Whether to buy new or preowned or buy elsewhere, that’s up to the buyer. But -- and this is a big but -- many people come here only having heard about The Villages and go to the sales center for info, right? They get taken on a trolley tour with a driver and a cheerleader to areas of new construction and are led to believe that this is what’s available. Sometimes you can see them rushing out of the trolley to check out a new street for a lot and put their stake in the ground, and from that point on it’s a done deal.
The original poster who started this thread with a long quote from his friend about the negatives of new construction and the positives about buying a resale is offering info--yes even as an opinion -- that too many people could not find anywhere else. Isn’t this why people come to TOTV -- to find info about most anything having to do with TV, whether it’s finding a plumber or a doctor, hearing the opinions of other people about this versus that restaurant, etc? Whether you agree or disagree with what the friend of the poster wrote, just keep in mind that there are potential buyers out there who will find this opinion, even as strongly put as it was, useful -- and who might never hear it anywhere else. No one is obligated to accept it as Gospel. It’s just an opinion!
