In re-sales, there WILL be those who want to hold out for the top dollar (whether it is to their benefit in the end or not) but also those who want to sell asap and so price accordingly. (and in re-sales there is always room to negotiate)

I have seen a number of very attractive NEWER re-sales at remarkably affordable prices and with some or all of the bond paid to boot!

If and when you are ready, I believe you will find the home that's right for you.
The salesperson was planting a seed to motivate you.
I will agree with you on that about the agent's motivation about home prices going up 30% in the next 3 years. Just wondering my friend and I were discussing resale homes already showing up in the new villages south of
466A (Charlotte and Fernandina). What is The Villages' rule about re-selling new construction -- an owner can't sell within 1 year of closing, or an owner can sell within the first year but not for more than the price the owner paid The Villages for his or her home?
