Sumter County has a website where you can find what similar property in your Village has sold for. However, the site is usually 30-45 days behind posting transactions.

OP, we have bought 5 and sold 4 homes in TV the last nine years. As a realtor will tell you, much goes into what a home will sell for. Location, condition, etc. and even time of the year.

My opinion , from my observations, homes have gone up in value (10% to 20%) in TV the last couple of years. You could have identical houses in similar locations and one could sell for 10% more because of the way it is decorated and "staged". In theory they are worth the same but in reality they will not sell for the same amount of money.

Bottom line the old cliche in real estate is true----a house will sell for whatever a person is willing to pay for it. If you don't plan to sell, get a second mortgage or reverse mortgage, just enjoy.
