But at this point it is a moot question. All homes are built and not being built for you at this time. So what you see is what you get. On a new home the price is NOT negotiable. You can view both new and used homes in thevillages.com.

Or used homes in an MLS realtors site. New homes are ONLY sold by The Villages. They do not allow MLS realtors to sell them. Used homes are sold by both.

Only you can say what is a good deal. New and used homes are GENERALLY about the same price. All new homes have a bond that is NOT included in the price of the home and is the price for infrastructure, the roads, the pipes the rec centers, the golf courses.

On a courtyard villa the bond price on a new home is about $11k. On a designer, which is the predominant style of home, the bond is now at about $24K. On a larger home, the premier which usually has more space between them the bond on it is $50K.

On previously loved homes the bonds are figured in, or still have some part unpaid.

Gracie laid it out nicely for you, and be nicer to your brother because life is short and I wish I had mine back.
