I think that you pretty much answered your own question. Right now if you want to buy a new house you're going to have to live way down near Brownwood. I'm not saying that's bad, but a lot of people would prefer to be more centrally located.

For some people it's the price. You can buy a very inexpensive manufactured home or ranch home in some areas. Maybe that's all they can afford.


You can also get more home for the money by buying a resale. Most people have a maximum amount they can afford when buying a home. It may come down to buying a smaller new home or a larger resale.

A newer resale has also been broken in. When you first move into a new home, there are usually a lot of little problems that arise and get taken care of buy the builder, contractor or developer. A home that's a year or two old has all of these problems worked out.

So there's at least three or four reasons. Maybe there are more, but I would guess that there are ore resales being done in The Villages than new homes sales. At some point, so they tell us, there will only be used home for sale here.
