Forget about the roof lol. Lots of mold that could have been removed for free if the homeowner called in a claim.
& the folks who live in thos 10+ year old homes laugh hysterically at the folks who bought into The Villages' marketing and believe Sawgrass is going to be the center of all that's good about The Villages.

For 100's of years, real estate values have been about 1 thing ... location, location, location.

There's only one thing about a home you can't fix, correct, modify or make up for .... land & location.
