Check others being sold and decide for yourself.

Step 1 Go to Zillow and look
Step 2 Check homes selling that are similar Price divided by square feet
Step 3 Make an offer

It’s that simple

Home selling is almost as easy

Step 1 Take pictures of your house
Step 2 Log onto Zillow and upload your pics
Step 3 Accept an offer
Step 4 Choose a title company to do all the paperwork

Easiest Option…go with a flat rate seller in The Villages. Additional costs of up to 5k can be expected though.
Did you see the FSBO currently being advertised on TOTV? Price "reduced" to $349K. But, Zillow says it's only worth $321K, and it sold 2.5 years ago for $222K. The house is 24 years old.
