As I have said in previous threads, I believe the best bang for your buck is a resale home in an established neighborhood.
In a resale home, the price is negotiable. A new home is not negotiable! Established neighborhoods do not hold surprises as to what may be built by you. Bond will be much lower or may be completely paid off. New home, the bond will be $23,000 to over $50,000. This will save LOTS of money for you. Mature landscaping vs no landscaping. By all means, get a home with a golf cart garage! Use BOTH a Villages Realty agent and a MLS agent! Neither can show each other's listings. You do not have to be sneaky about this. It is widely accepted and used. Villages of Glenbrook, Caroline, Virginia Trace, and Mallory Hill are great communities and centrally located to Lake Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs by golf cart. |

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the interest on your bond payment IS NOT tax deductible.
We found a perfect resale home (MLS) 6 years ago that had upgrades built in such as a wired sound system, roll away shelves under the kitchen counter, and, of course, the golf cart garage - and on the fairway of a golf course (positioned so balls do not come in the yard). Of course, I had to add my own flock of pink flamingos to the front yard! Bond was paid! Price negotiable! The sellers wanted a quick sale as their new house (smaller) was ready. Pretty good deal. Best of luck to you. |

GREAT LINK< Thanks!
[QUOTE=Roaddog53;1237301]An easy way to check taxes is to go to Lake County Tax Assessor Tax Calculator, which I think is light years ahead of Sumter County's Tax page. If you put in $275,000 (a good average) for a purchase price of a house in Fruitland Park, it will provide you all the data and assumptions. (Exemptions, etc) Taxes are $4,015 per year (excluding bond). |

Add around 13 thousand for the bond if you are looking for a patio villa. You get a warranty and everything brand new. We have had in our life 10 homes. Only two of them weren't new. I like new. Someone who just bought a new patio villa, please tell me if that bond price is correct. We want Mr. and Mrs. Nucky to have every thing to make them happy here. They are good people. Nucky and Mrs. Nucky, if you find used home you love, than that is good too. Just trying to help. We are counting the go to sleeps until you both get here.

Sorry, Nucky, that must be someone else you're thinking of, as our house isn't for sale. They must have done a good job of presenting it.

What a dingbat I am. It's my allergy to cardboard boxes. I'm sure your house is beautiful just like the mystery Carla. LOL

I just looked at a 312 k house in pine ridge this morning . The rep told me that the bond was around 28 k and the added fruitland park taxes were around 700.00 per 100k . So according to him it would add an extra 2100 to your taxes.

Biggest money grab this city will ever have. $40,000,000 a year is a giant windfall for this tiny city. What will they do with this new money ? Time will tell Let's not also forget the building permit and impact fees coming in right now. $$$$$ |
