heard today that the developer filed for 240 new permits...

[The Great Fumar]

After getting down to forty permits . the developer has filed for 240 new building permits to start next month.(may) Houses are starting to move a little faster and so they will be removing some of the incentives.........This is purely speculation on my part but it just makes common sense.........So if any of our friends out there are thinking about taking advantage of these incentives and are waiting until they get better ....Might think about making their move..........good luck

Very interesting. I had heard homes were selling again (at a decent pace) here in TV.

The Villas that had been listed at 132K a month or two ago are now 145K. I have been watching and new listings are selling faster and the prices are rising slightly. I am glad we bought two weeks ago.

I am wishing that some of the people with resales would enlist the services of a good stager and TAKE THEIR ADVICE. When you view some of the listings, they are very FULL of furniture and clutter. Selling resales is essential to all of our investments here.

I just looked at the online edition of "The Daily Sun." For those of you who don't know about the monthly "Newcomers" listings in the paper, you may want to take a look today.

After you have opened "The Daily Sun" part of TV's site, go over to the left side and click on "Recreation News." Go to page 48 and you will find the list.(Page 48 is the hard copy number. I think the file page is 26. You'll figure it out I know.) Don't squint. Click on the page and it will get bigger.

I think these listings may show those who migrate from village to village, too. But this gives you a bit of a feel for what's going on. If you are in the market for a home, you no doubt already recognize the village names and know which are new and which are preowned.

It's also interesting to see who's moving in and where they are from. Who knows? You could end up moving next door to your high school boyfriend. Interesting. Or a former boss. Not so interesting. You do know that all paths lead to TV, don't you?

I had not looked for this list for a long time and checked today so I could pass along the info if it was on there. It is published once a month so I don't know if the site carries it all the time. This rec news has last Thursday's date, 4/24, so I don't know if it will disappear when the new one comes out. If you want to have a look, you may want to hurry.

Can anybody here tell us if the "Welcome Newcomers" section of the rec news can be found in the archives somewhere?

Well, it looks like I'm here this morning doing public service announcements or something. If you are inclined to do a little snooping, the rec news is at your service. But hurry in case it goes away soon and is not archived.

VEDDY interesting Boomer. It looks like that the last one to leave (the rest of the country) should turn the lights out!

Once a month the Rec News publishes the list of all the newcomers to TV who moved in the previous month.It lists which Village they have moved to and where they came from.
