I know it Very's with property values etc., but we had my sister visit last week (just retired) and her daughter, (a doctor) from Wisconsin and the subject was talked about.
I pay about $16,000 a year to have a second home in The Villages. The home is a 4 year old designer home. I have no mortgage, but there is a bond which is paid yearly with the taxes. The $16,000 cost includes insurance, taxes, utilities, amenity fee, internet, lawn service, golf cart insurance and maintenance, home maintenance like pressure washing and HVAC service - etc.
