Default Re: New Home Prices on TV Website

I got the impression when dealing with Village agents that they have one story for the "innocent newcomers" and a back-up story for those who are more difficult, who are looking for discounted properties, etc. Perhaps that is why they have two prices, one posted and one "in their pocket".

We ended up buying on MLS, a property that had been listed high with the Villages VLS and didn't sell. And then reduced $30,000 and put on MLS. It pays to shop around.

Having said that, it looks to me like it's a Buyer's market right now in the Villages, a good thing for Purchasers. The Buyer's market may disappear when the snowbirds arrive and the inventory is depleted.
