Yippee! We're moving to Bonita!

[Niels]

What a busy couple of weeks! I retired from my job the end of October. I had planned on fixing up my house here in New York State and putting it up for sale next year but then my son told me he was interested in buying my house now (if I gave him a good price of course;)).

So.... my wife and I went down to TV last week. We picked out a lot in Bonita and signed a contract to build a new house. :pepper2: Our home will be closing in mid January! Then we spent two days furniture shopping.

Anyone else here from Bonita?

[graciegirl]

Well congratulations to you and Mrs. N!!!

We are just across Odell in Hadley and so glad to hear your good news.

Welcome to Bonita. I purchased a CYV in the Pilar Villas last year at this time. I'm not yet living there permanently but will be in a few years. I, too, am from New York State. I know you will be very happy here.

We will also be on Heath Springs Drive so I guess we will be neighbors.

[Niels]

Bob S - Good luck on your move too.

It sounds like we have several people in Bonita who are from New York State so I guess we're moving to the right place. :wave:

We looked at lots in a couple of other villages but they weren't as nice as the lot we chose in Bonita. Bonita looks pretty well built so we shouldn't have to deal with all the construction vehicles and dirt for too long after we move.

Niels,

We are on Heath Springs as well. The just started building a house on the corner - if that is yours you are about halfway between the Skips and the Katezboxes!

Welcome to the 'hood....

Welcome to the 'hood....

I think I know the house that you are talking about. They were starting on that house last week when we were there. That isn't our house but we will be right near there.

Niels, CONGRATS on your retirement and new home! Nice that you found a buyer for your home. That was an easy sell, eh?

[Stuart Jim]

good work -you retired and went right to TV nice going. I tell friends that when you retire hit the ground running and make the most of it. I languished in Middletown, NY after i retireing for about 11 years. Could have been in TV sooner. I'am similar to your situation son might take over my house and the fixed expences and we will see from there. I bought the lot on 8/5/09 in the village of St. Charles .I am trying to sell my condo in Stuart Fl. Taking to long. Price increase in TV motivated me to cash in a 401K account and do it. Close on 1/4/10 financing is in place. My fiancial adviser says you sure you want to do this. I'am 67 how much more time is left especially quality time. If the 401K is for retirement why not use for that. And you cant call putting money from one market and placing into another market spending anyway. If you want to do something and you are able to do it well get it done.

Yes, actually things appear to be moving much faster than I anticipated. I figured it would be at least a year and maybe two years before I could move to TV but things appear to be falling into place much sooner. I also think this is a good time to buy in TV.

Good luck with your new home in the Village of St. Charles.

[Pturner]

Hi Neils,
I am so excited for you! Retirement! Selling your house to your son!! TV!!!! All in one fell swoop :bowdown:

We just closed last month on a beautiful home in Springdale, so the excitement is still so fresh. We're two years from retirement and can only visit for now. Oh, but to know what we have to look forward to...

Anyway, I wish you all the very best. Congratuations.

[Jullie]

Congradulations on moving to THE VILLAGES! It is truly PARADISE here...

[Niels]

Thank you to everyone for all the good wishes and congratulations. I hope to see many of you next year when my wife and I move to Bonita.

[JeanneBeannie]

That is great news!! I am so very happy for you and Mrs. Neils! I'm sorry we missed you while you were down, but I am sure you were very busy looking at homes and furniture. But that is a "fun kind of busy".
Thats great that your son is buying your home, that will be a huge load off your shoulders, no realtors, showings, inspections etc.
Looking foward to seeing you in January!
Jeanne

Niels,

Looks like they are building in every open lot on the street. When you arrive there may be no more construction!

If you would like us to check up the the house, please PM me and let me know the address.
