Default Re: Closing costs- New Construction vs Pre-owned

We first came down and did a pre-view tour in late August....did the bus tour and saw only new model homes. Our Villages agent said they handle "98% of all listings for resales? We know this is not true. We visited again in November and engaged a local Realtor and he got us interested in TOTV and things began to click!! Reading all the other posts has confirmed our suspicions that if you want a brand new home you take the 2 hour hold deal, or leave it. And I would trust what the Villages realtor's say, but definitely verify every word!! We have found the residents we have met to be very happy and we find it strange that the developer's let their employees conduct themselves in a manner that at times casts doubt on their sincerity and trust ability; and makes the house buy process look like the N.Y Madison Avenue hustle!
