The new homes on the historical side have all disappeared. A few days ago, there were six to eight still for sale, and now there are none for sale and none pending. Perhaps they were taken off the market to avoid the 5% discount.
New home sales are the engine that powers the growth of The Villages. Without those sale, builders won't get paid, vendors won't get paid, etc, etc. Obviously the sales agents are going to concentrate on new homes sales as that is where the profits are, not in the 6% commission paid on resale homes. The developer already made his money on resale homes when they were originally sold.
