Landscaping I want to design my own.
I want to start with clean and new, along with the new building code, also new U can get sinkhole, in a resale U can't get it !
That alone offset the bond issue.
Also U have 5 years on termite protection.

I bought a resale home about 3 years ago. I needed a home quickly (due to some issues) that did not allow time for a home to be built. It has loads of great extras that would have cost me thousands in a new home. It has an extremely low bond ($2,000) and similar new homes were $20,000 bond 3 years ago. Now, they are $23,000 to $50,000.
The seller was motivated to sell. He included 3 year termite and bug protection as well as 2 year complete warranty.
I have had no problem getting sinkhole coverage insurance each year and even a decent ($500) deductible on it.
But, each to their own. I have no doubt that your new home will be great and you will be (or are?) a very happy Villager.
