Well, today my search cam across a home in Fenny that has a 3 car garage, pool, extended outdoor living .. all our wants... for $470,000. This one is VNH#12F0120, located on 5731 Sweet Bay Trail. I don’t know how to attach a link - sorry, you will need to search to see the 11 photos shown.
I have seen other pre-owned homeslike this with asking prices of more than $800,000 (but with smaller garages but probably a better view).
This house is new (with all new things like appliances thru new roof and more modern building materials) but the orders have things like window coverings and some come turn-key.
I can appreciate all that have been invested in these existing homes, but what drives nearly 2X price!? 
Help me to understand what I can not see from a distance.
Thank you!!! |
I have never seen a Gardenia model for more than $800,000. Where did you see one? Most of the houses I have seen in that price range are gorgeous Premier homes, usually 3000 square feet or larger, with huge pools, kitchens in the lanai, located in prestigious areas. The Gardenia model which you are referencing is fairly priced but I don't see that it is a fabulous deal. That's my opinion. If this house meets all
your criteria, and you like the Fenney location, then you should be very happy with it. Good luck!
