Pennecamp Anyone
 

I have been looking at TV properties via the developer site and real estate sites

Does anyone know why this home is still on the market

thanking you in advance

No idea but a good observation.
I think it would be due to a defect or legal problems.
I think if you made an offer based on having a home inspection you can resolve the first and if you have time to let them work out the legal problems you might be able to get a good deal on price.

Maybe it's the price. There are 11 other 2 bedroom villas available for less. And this new it doesn't have any of the must do upgrades that the others will. And other new ones are also less.

It's not still on the market. According to the Sumter Co. Property Appraiser's office it was purchased May 1, 2010.

thanks
 

thought it was strange, why do the developers leave it on the website, they update other villages

they dropped the price from $168 to $163 this morning, weird, emailed the Villages offices for clarification, could be why it is listed never lived in

I believe the property is still available. As for the reason for sale it could be one of many.

jan...

I think I saw a sign post that meant it was purchased. You never know if some sad or unexpected thing happened to the buyers. I know a person whose husband died just a couple of days after they closed.

I see that it is on the resale site. If you want to know what a person paid for a home and it is in Sumter county go to sumterpa.com and put in the address excluding the words street, drive, loop etc.

On a cheerier note. Pennecamp is such a nice village, so new and with a mix of all kinds of homes including Premiers. I think it would be a lovely home for you. We need another English Major here. They keep us all straight and we love them.

Kindest wishes,
Gracie

thanks
 

just received an email from the Villages office, there was/is a verbal offer on the property

Gracie, you live in Pennecamp? We're in Boxwood (if we ever get down there...we're trying again for end of Sept. )

still on market
 

this is still on the market anyone know why, before I contact the villages office and get the same response as a month ago;

I know how to get the real answer:

Call an agent with a price (below what you see).

That will get their attention for the real answer.

thanks
 

did that and was told there had been a verbal offer in Spetember

The person that bought the villa (for $164k) in May was named Sargent, which is the name on the lampost that appears in the virtual tour.

Figuring around 15k for the bond, it's now roughly $180k

???
 

what happened to the buyer, is that why we don;t get answers when we call, is there another way to research the property, thanks for your help

That name is still on the Sumter County website as the owner: http://sumtergis.com/GIS/

Perhaps they bought it May and just want to move up or out?

Surprised that you can't get a straight answer from your agent. Not their normal M.O. They will sell anything they can:)

Sales info says never lived in.

jannd,

Did you ask the agent what became of the person (Sargent?) who purchased the property in May? Did he list it for re-sale with TV? Why? Is the verbal offer a different purchaser? When was the verbal offer made? Are offers still being accepted?

Sometimes the only way to get very specific answers is to ask very specific questions. If that doesn't work, I think I might (a) loose interest in a property with too many unanswered questions; and (b) request another sales agent, one who is not guarded with information.

Maybe bought and just changed mind about location, size etc. before moving down?

I know there are a lot of new ones just almost exactly like it for the same price.

Just as someone else said, home sales are slower in the summer. Maybe they gave them a longer time to close.

Any reason why you like that one better than one just like it?

yes
 

it is NEW no one ever lived in it, or so it states, the mold I can take care of the animal dander I can't too many real estate people on Cape Cod lied to me which caused my current health condition, of course the mold on the ceilings and rugs in the school I taught in didn't help either

If someone finances their home through TV bank and defaults on their payments TV can put it back on the market but it is listed as pre-owned even if it was never lived in.

thx
 

I will use your questions when I call on Tuesday, hope you are well good to see you back
