You could do a lot of upgrades with $30K on a new home. Can anyone explain this? I've seen the same on CYV'S. Thanks

Kevin, it would vary from home to home, of course, but location may be a large factor and consider there is no leeway for negotiation when purchasing new from The Villages whereas a resale may adjust down $10,000 or more in the final offer, extensive upgrades can add up here in a hurry. An excellent landscaping job alone could add $10,000 to $12,000. I would definitely consider a resale along with a new home.
