In our Village when the view lots went up for sale at Bridgeport at Laurel Valley, they all sold within several hours. We missed out. We are satisfied with our lot and have watched several homes sell here in the last nine years for over 100K more than was paid for them.
In Hadley where we bought our first house here the homes that went for sale sold quickly and at a greater price than was paid for them.
No one needs to lie about The Villages. Jealous people will quickly tell you any minuses and the common Joe and Karen on the street are going to lavish you with wonderful stuff if you engage them.
Only if you are new here do you think that people have to fib to sell houses in The Villages.
I am not a realtor. I was a pre-school teacher for decades. I really am not crazy about most realtors.

I have been here for 8 years, so not new. We were lied to our faces. Now maybe the TV rep only told us what they were told, or maybe they made up their own lies, I don’t know. But given the premium you pay for homes here we had valid questions about build-out and the easement and it’s use and were lied to about both. Regarding the latter, I don’t think we would have bought this property if we had known the truth. And if I had known there will never be build out, I am not sure I would have bought here at all. Given the premium we paid for a home here I felt that the value would be locked in after build out. Now, I am not so sure.
