Home lots starting out at $3000
 

WOW !!!!!
Me thinks there is a lot of fine print to read with that sale.

Most of the cost of the lot is embedded in the price of the house.

The listed price is a 'premium' over and above that. So, internal, small lots have a small premium, and large, golf course view lots have a big premium.

I think all the +3K premium lots are for villas. My waterfront lot was a 39K premium.

Agree.

The lots mentioned are interior lots for designer homes in the Village of Fenney. My wife is a sales rep for Properties of The Villages and just looked them up. She would be glad to show them to you. Just private message me or give her (Karol) a call at 352-255-7993.

They say most villagers move 3 times. I am curious about Finney. I would like to know how many Villagers in percentage moved or are moving to Finney. For example when Collier opened up maybe 20% of the buyers were Villagers who moved, not first time buyers. I just guessed at that number.

Interesting comment, I'm wondering how many villagers are from Florida. Seems that most folks are coming from a cold weather climate. Been in Florida for 24 years and looking for a reason to move to the villages

I can tell you that the phone book says where everyone comes from. Many come from Florida or maybe SC or NC but that where they first retired. So just by adding the numbers from the phone book 40% of the villagers come from the north east states. That does not include penn or ohio.

If you look in the newspaper each day usually 1-4 pages from the front page they list the number of Villagers from 5 or 6 different states. I was keeping track of those numbers for a while for the N.E. but lost my list. Depending on how many states and which states you are including there are a lot but there aren't as many as you might think. Also you can opt out from the phone book when you move in and many do.

Here are the 3 moves :

1) Drank the Kool Aid, got drunk, counted the pennies

2) Got drunk, didn’t care about the pennies


3) Hubby croaked, got drunk, counted the pennies

On third house in TV. No longer attached to a home. Never looking for next house, but one popped up anyway.

Last move before -Bushnell--the Admiral will then downsize

I think my Uncle Howie and Aunt Phylis owned the Dairy Queen in Chester a long time ago. All three kids worked there too.

Didn't do Dairy Queen, but there was a great ice cream place on Main St, loved the Publick House , the Lamp Lighter & the Turkey Farm

I'm a Florida Native. Moved here from Jax. and grew up in Key West. We moved here to get out of the rat race. The things to do here are enormous in number and the surrounding area is awesome. Weird living in Big Ten country where no one gives a rats booty about the beloved Noles or the stank Gators or Canes. I guess rust belters don't know real football. They say many floridians move here but what they count as a Floridian is pretty generous. If someone moved to Boca ten years ago or Tampa eight years ago they count them as Floridians.

Oh Wiotte! :evil6:

In Osceola Hills where we live, there are some great lots with premiums less than $5000.

They are small lots that back up to large lots. Some people, like our neighbor, had the intelligence to look at a map and figure out which future residents on the larger lots would not build a house with anything super-close to the smaller lot.

It worked. They have a nice house that borders a large lot, and they have a nice view that is maintained by their neighbors on the larger, and much more expensive, lot.

All homes are spec built now north of SR44 because of demand.

Moving
 

I had a Village Salesperson tell me recently (with a poker face) that there are many Villagers that move every time the house inside or outside needs painted. True story. :wave:

Great post and the true picture.

If new people are looking for extremely large lots they are available in the premier village of Harmeswood which is near Glenview off of Buena Vista, north of 466, entrance on right hand side going North.

I think most of The Villagers are happy where they are living now.

We have had four homes sell in our small Village of 53 homes, in the last month. Two moved within this very small village and one to Fenny and the other to another place in The Villages.. How about that for happy? We are close to everything and nice folks live here.

I guess most Villagers could say the same.

Yeah, that is true in our area, but I thought there might be some great lots in Feeney for less than $5000 like there were in Osceola Hills last year.

I looked at the map but did not see any. Too bad.

We have only lived in 4 houses in our almost 36 years of marriage.

We hate moving. 😉

when we built it was at the choice of the builder. So if you buy a lot in an area that the builder currently has under construction he wont't let you delay it. If you buy a lot in an area that the builder is not ready to spec out the rest of the homes on your street you will have some time.
