Re: NEW DEAL ON NEW VILLAGES HOMES STARTS 9/4/2007
Barefoot you said "(I was told they try to get higher prices for resales in order to keep new home prices high. Perhaps just a rumour.)"
Not a rumour. For the past few months I have checked homes for sale on both VLS and MLS. I've kept a list of the type of home we would consider if/when we relocate to TV. On more than one occasion, I saw a house on VLS which had been on MLS and didn't sell. Guess what? On every such case the home was relisted on VLS for a higher asking price; anywhere from a plus 5k to a plus 9k. It appears that someone is convincing the sellers that the house will sell now that it's on VLS and that they should price it higher in order to cover the additional commission structure. Most outside Realtors agree to a lower fee than the fee that TV sales office charges.
