When I was looking for homes in 2009, the bond was about $20,000 on designer homes. I did not look at ranch homes or villas which may have a lower bond. I know the bond is currently $15,000 at the Haciendas of Mission Hills, $49,900 at Bridgeport at Laurel Valley, and somewhere around $23,000 (give or take) on the designer homes south of 466A. Premiers have a higher bond.

The owners have made improvements to the property and in most cases, the purchaser reaps the benefit. Plus the fact that some resales are furnished, and many come with a golf cart.

Having said that, a lot of people want the emotional satisfaction of having a new home, and that doesn't have a price tag.

Excellent post succintly stating both side of buying per-owned versus new.

Just add it to the price of the house you love. Take a shot of excellent Scotch and pour it over the rocks. Drink it and call me in the morning.
