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!!! |
Hi, Tom
I, too, have been watching that home on Sweet Bay Trail and think it's a great deal. It has quartz countertops, farm sink, double oven, gas range, pool with privacy walls and double access to lanai. What's not to love!! If it were across the street, you would be paying closer to $500K for a view of the Reader Preserve. You're close to Fenny Rec Center, Family walk-in pool, walking trail and Red Fox/Gray Fox Executive golf courses. The only caution is that you may not be able to rent out homes in that location, but check with TV. We had looked at lots on Sweet Bay Trail and passed on one since we would never be able to rent it out. The only other objective I have is the stone veneer on the front, but just not my taste. I tell hubby I know I can't have everything I want, but this house meets most everything! We aren't ready to move just yet, so someone should snap up that house!
