[QUOTE=schletterer;245420]Finally a contract (after 147 showings in 21 months) on our Sarasota home that will close on March 15, 2010. Can you imagine the fun of getting your house ready 147 times to be shown? Not to mention the extra low price.

I thought we had it bad with 27 showings in 4 months and we too has to lower our price. We accepted only $5K less than our lower limit on sales price but we wanted to be able to take advantage of the $6500 tax credit that applies to us so that more than covers it.
We have two Yorkies but are lucky that we can stay with relatives until we pick the house we want in the Villages. We are limited to the Court Yard Villas since they are the only ones that are fenced in. I do not want a lot of land. Just enough to let the dogs out to do their business when weather conditions do not allow a walk and enough room for a BBQ grill. That is it. I have a large yard now and only fenced in a small portion for the dogs and have to pay someone to take care of land that I never use.
I was interested to read about the long term rentals in the Villages. That increases our options as we do not want to overstay our welcome with our relatives and now gives us the option to Custom build or wait for a house still under constuction.
