"....We have looked at some homes with an MLS agent but most were very old and very dated. We have concluded that the Villages must have the best/newest resales. Is this true? Can someone recommend the best Villages agent for resales? We are here for a month looking and are exhausted and discouraged. If it wasn"t for the tennis, we would just buy new.
As an aside I will say that I cannot believe the prices for older, dated,tired homes...."

If you are seeing these resale homes as being "old, dated, tired", it's probably safe to assume that the
people in that neighborhood are also "old, dated and tired" original owners whose homes look old and tired because THEY are too old and tired to fix it up.
A ten- or fifteen-minute drive on a cart or in the car to tennis is well worth living in a neighborhood that has neighbors who are as active as you and your husband are.
One of the best things about TV is the neighbors who are young-at-heart and always out doing and planning social and sporting activities and get-togethers. Look in neighborhoods where most people are in your life-stage (recently-retired?) and age group.
And yes, TV does have more of the better listings, because after living here for awhile you see people experiencing the fact that when TV prices a listing, their price is
accurate and it sells.
