I think there are advantages to both. I chose a resale because I wanted a bigger lot in my cyv. It seemed to me (and was confirmed by the realtor) that the newer lots were generally smaller. Also, with a new home one immediately usually has to buy ceiling fans, blinds, washer and dryer...all adds up. Mine had all those and upgraded refrigerator as well.
My location is about the geographical center of the Villages. I moved from a house that was 40 years old, so one that was only 6 years old was really new to me.
