Hi Champ6,

I have always thought TV's listings site is extremely easy to navigate. It is fun to search by village and by price and by type of home. But I know what you mean about the bond balance. The VLS says only paid or not paid.

But an MLS site that can be found here as a TOTV advertiser shows the bond balance in the description of the home. And the description usually mentions which village the house is located in.

Even though the MLS sites are not set up to search by village like TV's site is, I have found that I really can learn a lot more from looking at the MLS listings. And you can start to develop kind of a feel for how those bonds work out by location and age of the homes.

I realize that you probably have already discovered all this, but just in case, I thought I would throw it in here.

I have also seen property taxes in some of the descriptions on MLS sites. There are some things about property taxes in Florida that I am not quite clear on. But I guess that is for another thread sometime.

Anyway, I wish you the best on your journey. (It's fun to look at all those houses in the sun, isn't it.)
