Re: Home Price Negotiations
If you buy from a private owner, obviously there will be haggling. And, your closing costs will be negligible. The closing costs are quite high when you buy a new home. There are utility hookup fees, permit fees, environmental stuff. I estimate maybe $6000-$10000 higher than buy private,depending on the type of home you buy. You'd have to check - the Villages can give you the numbers. If we had to do it over, we'd look more seriously at private homes for sale. The cost of new landscaping for example is very high. The used homes will generally have all that done.
