But as long as it's what you want but the OP asked about price and value, a newer home down the road may have a higher resale just because of its age.

Main thing is you're happy with what ever the choice is.
The designer home bonds now are higher than what mine was. The $50K is for a new premier home.

Yes, I have had no trouble getting sinkhole insurance on my homeowner policy. I do not mean the catatrophic ground collapse which is standard.

Value wise, I still think the resale is better. However, the new homes are selling like hot cakes for a good reason. They are great houses and people love The Villages. I know I do!
