Maybe simply because, and I have heard this many times from people who post on here, that this is their lily pad (long awaited retirement home) and they wanted to have the choice in how it would be, all new and shiny and unlived in. Many folks have never had a brand new home before.

There is NOTHING wrong with resales if you can find the one that is the house of YOUR dreams. And some resales have lower bonds but the newer resales may have quite a bond bill.

I think that there is a wonderful place for everyone and some people's dream house is in Stonecrest. NO BONDS.
