To answer your question....Yes I would pay more money for the same designer home anywhere but Marion County with their silly street names.

Lyle Gant, a Realtor here keeps excellent stats on MLS sales. In 2017 Designers in Marion County averaged about $50,000 less than Designers in Sumter. There are several reasons for this. As developer expanded TV from North to South, floor plans tended to get larger and also his construction costs have gone up. For instance, my home, a Designer with 2 car plus golf cart garage originally sold new for $187,000. A similar home in Fenny costs $257,000 or more, and the $257,000 home has zero upgrades. I bought mine in 2016 for $257,000 and it has over $90,000 in upgrades. I could care less what the street name is. Plus there is far less traffic and congestion up here.
