If the cost of the bond determines whether you buy the house or not, then look at different options in The Villages. New homes dictate higher bonds for longer period of time. A resale home has no bond or the time frame of the bond is lower; as well as the overall cost of the bond. If you plan on staying in the house, forever, pay off the bond. If there is a chance you could move, don’t.
Buying a home or a lifestyle here is like no other place. I didn’t come here for a monetary investment. Been there. Done that. I’m here for the lifestyle. And everything The Villages has to offer. And in all the years I’ve lived here, I don’t know ANYONE that has lost money here.
