Hey- Darbyduff is back and here is my observation....


On new homes, we were told the same as all of you. No bargains until we mentioned the ranches and villas and pretty soon the bargains on the Designers came out of the woodwork. Now if you look at "Pre-Owned" homes in TV, you'll notice that ...take for instance The Designers.... Our home, The Jasmine, is listed at anywhere from $235,000 to +++++ We purchased a Jasmine for $209,000 and we did not have the items in our home that we did not want, nor pay for what was already paid on someone else's bond. Is this the way to go?????? It's up to you all!!! Our bottom line was - WE WANTED TO LIVE IN THE VILLAGES! We would have purchased a pre-owned home or a new villa if that was what we thought was best for us. And let's face it.... If you want to live in TV, the owners have us by "the short and curlys"

You can look at all of the other 55+ community's such as THE PLANTATION or DEL WEBB'S and I'm sure there are people who moved there who think they got a "raw deal". You all know what your bottom line is and if the Sales people or owners of TV have crossed it, don't purchase a home there We didn't get to this age by being stupid. We all have to do what works for us!

That being said....... Hope to see you all down here!!
