Actually, in the same neighborhood, about 2 streets down, another owner is selling his house for 1.5+ million. I understand he paid 770K for it 11 months ago. It is listed as needing to close right after his 1-year mark, so he can keep the profits. He did upgrade the interior quite a bit -- although, not 100% markup improvement.

The owner and his wife are private citizens, not a corporation. I'm told they like to personally flip homes in the Villages.
