North of Rt466 is a very nice area. One thing you might want to think about is that the further South you go, in the Villages, the more likely you will find Bonds on the homes. The best deals (in my opinion) are the homes where the bonds are paid off. Buy a new home and you can add $30-50K to the price of the home.
I do know of a home currently for sale in the Santiago village that is move in ready and the owner has reduced the price substantially. Now, is a buyer's period because inflated interest rates have caused the prices of homes to fall. The home I mentioned is already about $50K lower than the seller could have priced it early last year. With all the improvements and the bond paid off, it seems like a pretty good deal.....and in a great neighborhood too. Just saying. Buy now, before the interest rates drop and the home prices rise again.
