We're moving
 
We close on one of the new cottage homes being built in the Historic district on July 22.

I'll miss all my wonderful neighbors, but we'll only be a quarter of a mile away.

My current home is going on the market next week. If you know anyone that interested, please let me know.

You're new home looks Great!! Do the new homes in the historic side have any bond?

SouthOfTheBorder 06-25-2015 02:57 PM

You both must very excited. From your posts on TOTV it is easy to see how much you appreciate your neighborhood! Now you can enjoy the best of both worlds, a new home nestled in the charm and ambience of the historic district.

We're planning on a combination housewarming / citizenship party sometime in August. Please tell Pam she's invited.

Looks like there's room for a pool table and its associated party!!:beer3:

Welcome to the hood! We prefer the term "hysterical" side!

Thanks, but we already live on the hysterical side. We're moving about 1/4 mile.

Hardly room for a pool table unless we want to park in the driveway. Don't need one anyway. We're about 1/4 mile from Silver Lake Rec Center and great pools tables.

Congrats on the new home!

88 Keys 06-26-2015 12:08 PM

Because of you Doc I looked at the new home available in the historic district and .........drum roll..........we bought one!! We were looking at pre owned homes and actually had an offer on one which I pulled as soon as we saw the new one!!

So I guess we'll be neighbors. As soon as I get my studio set up in the 3rd bedroom we'll have to get together and pound out some Beatles!!

dotti105 06-26-2015 02:12 PM

Congrats!!

Your new home looks beautiful! How nice to move and still be in the same neighborhood!! Best of both worlds!

Congrats again on your wife's upcoming citizenship. How exciting! You two have lots to celebrate!

Best wishes!!

Awesome. I'm doing the same thing with the third bedroom.

Nice, 88 Keys! Congratulations to you as well. :)

You made me curious about the inventory -- currently 6 new in Silver Lake and 4 of those furnished!

tomwed 06-26-2015 09:03 PM

Is this your second move? If so you still have one more to go to be average. [kidding]

Did either of you buy a house with a yellow house right behind you? If so, I think you might be my new neighbor!! : )

I think that there might be a yellow house behind me. Are you on Royal Palm?

Many of those first 100 have been sold. Some are finished but not released into the market and many are still under construction. Some are in the process of removing the old home from the site. There are a few lots where the old home has been removed and nothing has been done for weeks because, I assume, they can't keep up the pace.

Homes have also been removed, built or under construction in Orange Blossom Gardens and Country Club Hills. I don't know how many of those are on the market, but I can tell you from personal experience that they sell almost as fast as they build them.

Well I spoke too soon.....we went to take one last look at the property before signing the final papers and we saw a couple of things that made us rethink our position.

We signed the papers today on a new home in Pine Ridge that checked all of the boxes. But it would have been nice to not have that bond!!!

Haha! Looks like you've bought The Villages average of 3 houses already, so at least that's out of the way. :)

Lol....I never thought of that. I'm sure the sales rep breathed a sigh of relief when I signed the last page of the contract. :)
