Nonsense! We wanted a home with a private back yard and a pool and looked long and hard and couldn’t find anything close to our maximum budget. We were able to buy a very nice home with a private back yard and build a beautiful brand new pool with a huge birdcage and come in well below our budget. Pools add significantly to the resale value of homes in the Villages, especially homes that are not already very expensive high end homes.
