OMG - they accepted our offer!!!
 

Well, after haunting this site and the offerings on MLS and VLS, and now visiting..... we made an offer on a home here in the villages and the offer was ACCEPTED!!

We are OVERJOYED that what we have planned for and dreamed of for so long is coming true!

So we are now.. Village People? Lol. My wife and I are looking forward to meeting more of you face-to-face in the coming months and years.

WooHoo!:coolsmiley::a040:

What village, Tom?

Congratulations! May you have a smooth closing..

Atta Boy Tom! Welcome home!

Congratulation!

Congrats, it's a tad warmer here.

We had a tough time with the separation to go into The Fenny area (long way and no way by cart, yet) although in a bit more time that are will be great! We are located in the village of Pine Ridge (taxes, I know!) but we could not believe the views of the preserve from Conservation Trail. We made the offer on a house there - a long shot, but was accepted. We have a lot of work ahead to make it “OUR home “. Amazing experience, it’s too long of a story to share here. It’s better over a beer at a town square... but isn’t that true about a lot of things? We do feel blessed and so very welcomed. Thank you!!!

Congratulations Tom! We have done most of the one year warranty inspections on Conservation Trail.....you have some wonderful new neighbors there....Enjoy!

That is a beautiful area there, Tom. Best wishes on your new home. Hope the transition goes smoothly for you.

Congrats!!!!


Hopefully TV will reduce the stress on your face.


:)

Oh but what a labor of love. Congratulations and don't forget to enjoy the experience.

Congratulations ... the best is yet to come!

Good for you Tom.

:coolsmiley:You did a lot of hard work and spent a lot of time looking. I'm so glad you found the perfect place.:coolsmiley:

Never make an offer unless you want own a home. Joking. WELCOME HOME!

Very exciting! Always great to make a house “your home”. After many houses during our lifetime, we realize there is no such thing as “perfect” house even if you build it custom from scratch. There is always something different or better if you could just do it over. That said, as everybody says “in The Villages it’s the lifestyle not the house”. Neighbors too play an important part in your village experience. This is a great place to live. Good luck and congratulations.

A big congrats and...welcome to The Villages. :thumbup:

Welcome! We're right around the corner from you.....

Dewilson you are too funny!

Congratulations Tom!

Tom,

Glad to made it, a BIG welcome to TV. Send me a PM after your get settled, and I will personally welcome you with a beer or 2 at Brownwood.

Tom, we looked on Conservation trail, but didn't see a sign on a house that said Pending. Is your realtor asleep at the switch? What is your house #, PM me if you don't want to post it here, thanks

Well done, Tom et al. There are cold drinks and snacks awaiting you at Chez Gantner when you arrive and find your bearings.

You will never regret your decision. I love your street and have friends who live on it.

So happy for you.

:ho: When we get all moved here, I may have to change my avatar....:ho:

It will have to be a happier looking one!

Great you will be moving to TVs. Curious if you found the real estate market to be a buyer of seller market?

What Zillow says about 32162 - Sellers' Market

This is a seller's market
There are more interested buyers than homes for sale.

Neighborhood home value
32162 home values have risen 6.7 % over the past 12 months.

One-year prediction
Zillow predicts the home values in 32162 will increase 7.2% in the next year.

I forgot to mention, KEEP your Alaska plate, I have only seen one in TV so far, you will find it a real conversation piece.

Oh thank you. :mademyday:

Zillow’s values are all over the place. They can’t seem to accurately differentiate the type of lot which adds or subtracts considerably from the value. I track a few properties over 2 years now and have seen increases and declines of over $50k in a single day. Try and find a 3br 2bath golf Course CYV. Thousands built but few are for sale especially 466S.
