If you are buying a resale home listed by THe Villages, their resale contract "used to have" a clause in it saying that any appraisal had to be performed by an appraiser located in Sumter County. The real estate market in and around The Villages is not comparable to Florida or most of the states. Dealing with Citizens will get you the appraisal you need. if you deal with an outside ..BUT LOCAL bank such as BBT, you will also get a good appraisal.
