As other posts have said, resales are put up for sale after one, two or three years for many different reasons. Poor construction is not one of them.

There is a "saying" that Villagers will buy and sell three times during their time in TV. Some start with a smaller home, Villa or cottage home, more to a designer or premier and then later downsize. Sometimes it goes the other way.

Prices have increased especially homes with a water or golf course view. Some sell and return back "home" when a spouse dies and some have sold and taken the profit and are renting. Lots of various reasons for resales to be sold after a couple years.
