Default Re: JUST HEARD - NO CLOSING COSTS ON NEW HOMES

Just closed on a new Ranch the beginning of August. They were discounting all the ranches we looked at by about the bond price. You could either get the bond paid or the take that amount off the price of the home. The ranch homes had higher bonds in Duval - they were about $20000 if I remember. No closing cost, other then your prorated tax and and your other yearly fees. The Villages picked up all the high price items, sure did make us happy. Did it by mail and it went smooth. We didn't get an extended closing date (ours was 30 days). Wish we did, but didn't think to ask for one. Once you say Ok to the house things sure go into high gear very fast but it worked out OK since the market was up right at that time we had to sell. If I remember correctly they were doing the same for the Villas and Designer homes also.
