To the best of my knowledge, the developer is only building spec homes. When we began our search we looked at both pre-owned and new construction. When we ruled out pre-owned (personal choice on our part, there are many nice pre-owned on the market) we made our list of needs and wants. We watched The Villages web site to see what was coming on the market. It took about 4 months and we found most of our must haves and many of our wants. We were working with a sales person from The Villages and she took pictures allowing us to have an idea of what the house looks like.
If you're working with a sales person from The Villages, provide them with your list. Once they review, they can tell you how likely it will be for you to have these items in the house, because they will not make any modifications. We closed on 2/12/14 and this was our experience.
Your list is fairly specific and you may find the perfect pre-owned that someone has made upgrades. In which case, you may want to work with a Village sales person and also an MLS Agent.
Looking is so much fun and the anticipation of one day making The Villages your home is a dream come true. Good luck and enjoy the adventure.
