Type in THE VILLAGES FLORIDA TRULIA.........type in what you are looking for.
Single Family Home. Condo, etc.
Such as 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, pool etc......price is in the drop down menu.
Click on your price range. If you just want 2 bedrooms, that is also in the drop down menu.
You will get all the homes in TV........
Trulia is what everyone up here uses..........
The Villages lists homes for sale that already have long been sold.
That part is simply not true Senior. The second someone makes an offer it is marked Pending and removed when sold. Thevillages.com keeps their site very up to date. You must be speaking of a site that is NOT thevillages.com
There are many sites that are named similarly.
You will know it is the right site if this song comes up immediately on the site. The Villages, The friendliest home town............

I do know what the actual Villages real estate site is and have been looking at it for several years......but thanks for the info nonetheless.
Several of the homes we were "watching" were kept on the site as FOR SALE........and never had the PENDING notification put on them.
I've seen the PENDING banners on the homes that have an offer.
I am familiar with THE VILLAGES real estate website.
Again, it is not always up to date. Just our personal experience.
Also, the new model homes and new homes (that are not models) but being offered for sale as spec homes.........all have the same exact exterior, interior, etc.......in other words, a "generic" photo is used on the TV website. It isn't necessarily what you are going to get.
We stayed in two designer homes that had been bumped out and expanded with luxuries galore added at building. We also visited models of the same NAMED MODEL and they looked nothing like the homes we stayed in.
One has to be careful.......and of course, when the time is right, look in person. However, so many people are doing their research ahead of time to try to get a feel for what is available.......thus, looking at resales as well as new spec homes.........online. It's not easy.
I like Trulia for other parts of the country as well......you can put in your price range, your specifications and see what's actually on the market at the time and how the local real estate is slumping or rising as per that date. It's what everyone up here uses. It also has REAL interior photos.
