Pre-owned will be less bond or no bond at all.
The area south of 466A just does not feel as safe as it s near Wildwood. Choose something around Lake Sumter Landing like Caroline or Mallory Hill on the interior of The Villages for safety, beauty, and convenience - as well as lower bond.

A new designer home bond is about $25,000
A new premier home bond is about $50,000
A new patio villa bond is about $ 13,000
A new cottage is about $20,000
I think that is a misleading statement about lack of safety in the new villages. In new areas where construction is continuing there are more workers around but the subcontractors are not all skallywags. I don't think the fact that Wildwood and Fruitland Park are closeby has much bearing on safety. If a bad guy wants to come in here he can come in here anywhere all the way to Spanish Springs. If you think that Wildwood is the source of trouble, actually the last few burglars were from Bellview and the mugger was from Orlando, he and his girlfriend.
Newer areas have newer people and it is easier to get to know people sometimes.
And the bond is the cost of the infrastructure. It is absorbed into the cost of the home in other areas of this country. The bond hasn't disappeared on older homes. It is absorbed into the cost or the remainder still has to be paid.
I think that a new home is a wonderful thing and it carries a warranty that is immediately carried out on any issues. We have had two here. Newer homes have the new level of windows for strong winds and all new devices such as humidistats.
People who buy new homes are just as happy as people who buy used homes.
We have satisfied friends in both catagories . No I don't work for the developer and I don't work for a realtor either.
P.S. Our three year old home is around Lake Sumter Landing and we love it.
