We're within about 2 weeks of buying sight unseen. We narrowed our choices and decided we wanted new construction. For the last couple months we've been watching the houses on The Villages web site and picked out our favorite 2 with what we wanted in a lot within our price range. Our Realtor took videos of both houses, back yard, and interior.
We have purchased without seeing a property in the past in another area and had no regrets. But, as other have said, if at all possible it is probably best to see for yourself what you're buying. We have time restraints and afraid we won't get what we want by waiting until we can make another trip to Florida. We will be moving forward without seeing the villa in person.
It's a huge decision, but such fun dreaming about the day you can live in Paradise!
