It sounds like you are a smart shopper. Bonds are the hidden addition in cost! They Do require financing if you don’t pay cash for both the bond and the home at current rates which are above 7%, Look between 466 and 466A in this mix there are a couple of Villages with city taxes, stay clear of them, but a majority aren’t taxed by Wildwood or Fruitland Park and the area.

Frugal parameters would be:
No Bond
No City Taxes
Better Prices
Low Traffic in the Winter…

ANSWER =
Unincorporated Sumter County

Bonneybrook and Lynnhaven are on mark as great villages. Avoid anything close to Rainey Trail Rd, it has become quite busy with short cutting to 117 for drivers to and from 462 in Wildwood. Right now you are looking at an average price of anywhere between 191 to 250 a square foot and negotiating an average of about 5.5 percent off of asking.

Happy House hunting, I’m sure you find what you are looking for!
