I soooo agree. We had ours listed with Properties of The Villages, but cancelled and went on our own this week. Their CMA had it priced way too high. We were able to lower it $15K. Wish us luck!!!
What the new people aren't realizing is that YES, the new homes appear to be cheaper, but the bond is 2X what ours was 2 years ago for the same house. That HAS to be added onto price of house.
ALSO...they don't realize all the "STUFF" they have to put into a new house to make it livable. We put in THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS.
Oh well, guess the ole "live and learn" applies here....not to mention "caveat emptor". They get pushed by the real esate people who do not always tell them the REAL TRUTH.
