They often fail more often than you think, as well. Buyers will quickly purchase what they want. A windfall for the seller! But sometimes, homes attract NO ONE. It is best to buy a home that you can see yourself living in for years. Buying a home and speculating you will a make great profit quickly is not smart. I've seen many fail in their attempt.

You never hear these stories. If you visit MLS/VLS often, you will be able to spot them. They disappear when the realtor contract expires. Sometimes you will see them listed again after they have made some improvements. Others wait a year or so then try again.

Nobody keeps a photo album of failures in life....only the successes!

Happens all the time. Many people are fine with looking at a floorplan. TV is one place where you pretty much know what you're getting when buying new.

Even though I walked through my house before purchasing, I was hesitant to buy in a new area as I wouldn't know how my neighborhood would look beforehand, but it all worked out.

It's going to be a small pool..................few feet in back yard.

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

In Newell and Lake Denham Designer homes with 10 foot ceilings have been reclassified as Premier. They don't even need to be stretched or have lots that are larger. Just a marketing gimmick.

Don't premiers typically have wainscotting, rounded corners, crown molding, etc. This home looks pretty bland for a premiere.

Check the sold prices of the homes on 466 at Bridgeport at Laurel Valley. Homes sold in the past year have all been well over a million dollars and one was over two million. I enjoy watching things like that.

This home has a lovely view out the back, but can’t come close to the premier homes north of 44.
The floor plan and exterior facade on this look like the general designer homes that abound everywhere.
The older premier neighborhoods have bigger lots and much better floor plans.
Regretfully, the new areas south of 44 don’t measure up.

There's one for sale on Conservation Trail currently for over 3 million. However, this high ceiling designer on a noisy corner lot with a busy street, and under 2,500 sq. ft., not to mention the floors, should be asking around $800,000.00

One sink in master bath, electric stove & backs up to a small pond — thank you, our designer house 1 mile from Brownwood Square just appreciated!!

Wow

[rsmurano]

Now, they are building premier home models in non-premier villages. In the Eastport area, you can build the “Warbler” premier model home on any lot that will fit it.
I would not like to be in an area that has vinyl homes next to my million $$ premier home.

You do know that Publix from Lake Denham is about an 8 min drive right?
