Pre owned homes definitely negotiable. Agents have to present owner with any offers made. I have a home for sale so I know his to be a fact������

[jay425]

Use a buyers' broker. Ask your broker what the list to sale ratio is. Discount your offer accordingly.

Offered a cash purchase w/flex closing date to meet sellers needs. Passed on their counter-offer and after a day they accepted our cash offer. I guess they wanted a quick sale. House on the market 2 days. Listed 324K purchased for 310K. Cash is King.

Yes, , preowned homes are negotiable.

When we listed our home we were told to expect a 10% drop in asking price.

dont use a Villages Realtor when purchasing a pre owned home, use an outside realtor it will give you a better scope on what is the “REAL” estimate on price also look at how long the home has been listing (sometimes a Realtor takes the home off so it does not look that has been for sale long. Cash is KING always

' allowed to sell ' ? ? ? pls explain,,,,,, if i buy a house,, who/what says we're NOT ALLOWED to sell ? ? ? there's got to be more to this arbitrary policy
even r e brokers sometimes forget they are agents of the SELLER unless the BUYER's paying the commission

[rz5drf]

Yes very. You can also tell how long in market by looking at the VLS numbers.

[RealtorMikeVanek]

The Villages keeps their prices 10% higher already. Buy from a local listed home not sold by The Villages.

[72lions]

Of course they are negotiable just like any other real estate transaction between the buyer and seller. The Villages doesn’t own the property and therefore has no say so in what offer will be accepted.

If you didn't use a Villages Agent, how would you know or see their 446 current listing right now?

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

For those who don't know, The Villages resales are just like the new homes, only their agents can sell them. The Villages does not belong to MLS, their listings are only on their website.

Currently in the MLS System for The Villages there are 414 listings. So you need to get two agents, one for each system.

Everything is negotiable . Take what your Real Estate agent says with a grain of salt. If you do not look out for your money no one else will. Don't get caught up in the magic of the villages. Most home owners who buy houses in the villages are lied to just like every other market in the country. Heres the longest running lie in the villages " better buy now because when this phase is sold that's it no more homes will be built"

[Debbraham]

Yes Preowned are negotiable...be sure to check with an outside realtor for additional pre owned homes...the villages can only show you what they have listed and can not show you the homes listed by other real estate companies.

It is always the seller's option if they are. negotiable about the price. The villages controls prices only on new homes not resales.
