There is misinformation given when someone says you cannot get sinkhole insurance on a resale home. Not true!
Lots of folks do like the new homes. If you do not mind paying an extra $1,500 or so each year on your property tax bill, the $23,000 bond will not bother you. Personally, I like not having a bond to think about and that is one reason I bought a home with no bond on it. My property tax bill is $1,500 lower than friends who bought new at the same time as I bought resale. Each to their own.
This area is a lot nicer than Kissamee. Not sure, though, if I would take a $25,000 loss to move to The Villages when I already live in Florida. You will have to weigh all the possibilities before making such a drastic change.
The idea of renting your Kissamee home is certainly worth looking into but being a landlord can also be a giant headache.
