More and more are choosing to rent. Your money collects interest while you are deciding if the Villages is the place you want to retire. In a year's time, the interest earned can add up significantly. Your social security payments may easily pay the entire cost of the rent. Go to villages4rent.com to see the homes available. Some are completely furnished with a golf cart included. Worry-free living until you choose a home.
A family member is currently looking for a home. In many areas, we noticed the price of older homes is now equal or lower than new construction. You can find a good deal now that available inventory has exploded. If you are not set on a particular home, you can wait until the Developer drops the price in the Eastport area. There are always some homes that get reduced so he can move on to his next phase of building. The reduced cost may help to pay the bond. If you are in a hurry, check out the current reduced prices for new homes in Lake Denham and Dabney. To do this, go to the villages website. MLS is not able to sell new homes and you will not find any listings for them.
