Same exact tour.
Both homes were slightly discounted. The less expensive home has laminate countertops while the other one has granite countertops.
This is listed on the print out under FEATURES....but the model tour photos are exactly the same, totally identical in both homes....as I discovered this morning.
The lesser priced home has carpeting and the higher one has tile.
The photos show beautiful dark hardwood or laminate floors.
My husband thought it looked to be a good price for being on a golf course according to the photo..........but we soon figured out they were just using the same "video" or model tour for both homes............and neither was probably on a golf course......but both did say "corner lot"; one said oversized garage which we would like.
He said he would have flown down to look........but we haven't even listed our home yet........so have plenty of time. We do understand that to get a larger home we have to pay for all the "bumping out" etc.........however,I just thought that the photos of said NEW HOMES would be accurate......it was confusing at first, but now I do "get it" and totally understand.
Thanks to all who responded. The prices seemed too low for the size of the LANAI.....and the location of the LOT in the photo.
We were spoiled being in our rental home which was on the Nancy Lopez golf course. Nice to have that out back.
In our married life, we've had hardwood floors, carpeting, tile, etc.
I think for the next house, I'd like the wood floors throughout; that's why the first "model tour" jumped out at me.
During our visit we got to explore exactly where all the villages were and saw some model homes..........and open houses..........it was all overwhelming............at least the next time we will be much more familiar with where everything is.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED. APPRECIATE IT.

My significant other and I just bought a lot in Gilchrist and plan on building this summer/fall. We were told by our agent that you aren't going to be able to buy a lot and build out within the next six months. As new areas are opening up they are going to be filled with spec homses. So if you are planning to build, I would come down sooner rather than later. Good luck with your search, we like so many others, love The Villages.
