Why so many villas for sale in Haven Villas?
 

Looking at TV sales website I noticed several almost new patio Villas for sale in Haven Villas of McClure. I was curious were these bought as investments to flip or is there a problem in that area causing people to want to move after such a short time? There are also several villas in Spartan Villas of Desoto for sale. Both areas I believe back up to the same non-Villages area.

Hey could have been purchased by one investor and after one year decided to sell them. Look up the addresses on the Sumter County site and you can see if they are the same owner. I have noticed that there are a lot of used homes for sale in Desoto both designers and villas for some reason.

Sales
 

I'm in the area -- the sales are individual owners who are upgrading to larger homes.

They say the avg. villager owners move 3 times.

That was my thought. My parents moved 3 times and each was an upgrade. The villa was a good first choice; they decided they wanted to stay and upgraded.

Or their year is up, and they can make as much profit as possible

Maybe getting out before the rush

Investors
 

There is a group of 5 villas in Fenney that was purchased by an investor group made up of airline employees - they formed an LLC and are renting out long term for $ 1,800 a month, 2 year fixed lease, includes cable and CDD fees, fully furnished with appliances, silverware, placeware, bedding and golf cart. The only thing the occupant pays extra is electric and gas. My bet is that they are holding and going to do a 2 year flip.

Probably because the Villages experience wasn’t any fun over in that area. Construction noise and dust all day along with hearing the loud speaker from Coleman prison. No golf cart bridge to get to civilization no grocery stores or maybe people just figured they bought in the wrong area? I hear they have good food trucks instead of restaurants.

But I’ve heard the residents in that area are much more upbeat, positive and forward thinking. There’s much to be said for that.

What rush?

Will property values go down?
 

With so much inventory coming online, lack of travel, lifestyle visits, and no people touring open houses, the whack to 401k plans, I would bet the Developer is expelling a serious brick in anticipation of a slowdown in sales.

Construction in McClure has been completed, McClure is far from the Coleman prison and there is no noise, civilization exists south of 44 with over 7,000 residents, grocery stores are less than 10 minutes from McClure, it is less than 10 minutes to more than 20 restaurants. less than 15 minutes to Leesburg hospital, 5 minutes to the new Villages 24 hour emergency room, and in addition they have food trucks in Marsh Bend.. You need to do a little more research before posting "fake" facts.

I’m on my 5th home in villages ( Fenney) I love it over here . People have always found faults with any new area the villages builds. I have great hearing and I’ve never heard the speakers from the prison and fact is even when I have been in prison parking lot you barely hear them . There are so many people here that seem to want to drag down or belittle so much about this place .This will be a very beautiful area when they get through , just like all the others , only will be the new section until there is another. Did you think we bought out here not knowing what was going on and how much time it would take to finish up , and if you don’t live out here why criticize an area that has nothing to do with you

Amen to that Charlie, I thought the bashing would stop when Fenney was complete but there are those that are ignorant to the facts that keep on doing it. Nothing anyone says is going to stop the flood of people moving down here and many of them from villages north of 44, the natural atmosphere is so relaxing. Nothing wrong with the other villages, just different down here in a good way. In 3 weeks we'll have been in Fenney 3 years and watched it grow to thousands of residents.

For the record I am only stating what I know from friends that moved to Fenney and were disappointed 4 of them have moved out of Fenney 3 stayed in the villages and one moved to Del Webb. Not to mention the constant posting of dissatisfaction on the bridge issue from residents. I’ll assume that some of the replies are from village realtors defending their meal ticket. If your a resident of Fenney and my comments upset you that wasn’t my intention I was just replying to a question asked” being what I believe to be truthful.
