However, looking at locations TV releases to build lots on the price can go from 5k to 200k.

I get the idea of pick what you can afford and want, but I am still the kind of person that needs to confirm value. Say, we decide to move to a new location in 10 years. I don’t want to loose 200k in value. Up North, the area and size of house would all be similar in price. View would not mean anything to valuation of sale.

So, do the golf course views really sell for 200k more than a same style home without the view? Or do you understand and accept a loss if you purchase the view?
View lots are in demand. Kissing lanais are not. You don’t have a lottery for kissing lanais.

Check out the preowned houses in Moultrie Creek that have a view that are for sale. They are a year old. Check out the original sales price and check out the asking price. And then follow up for the sales price. Prices are available at Sumter County appraisers website.
