You call people “snobs”…and then tell the OP he CAN get a home for his price… but not in the location specified. 🙄

Kelly, For $250,000. You’ll probably pay that much for a Courtyard Villa. Even some patio villa’s, could $200,000. or a little more. But I wouldn’t look for anything bigger than that. Keep looking you might find something where someone just wants to get out of TV. But if you do find something there, you’ll love it, lots to do but you’ll still run into all kinds of people from all walks of life!

I don’t know how you can find what you’re looking for, OP. Perhaps a bank foreclosure?

I am well aware of that! I was merely pointing out the prices there.

Lot's of cheap houses in Village of Newell. Check on proximity to turnpike before you buy. There is a reason they are priced well below other more desirable locations. Best of luck.

If you actually read some of the posts they are, IMO, is not helpful. Answers like Oh good luck with that! He is asking for help not a brush-off.
Being told that he can only afford a mobile home or live ‘outside TV is snobbish!

Even if it’s true? I think that people are trying to help with what they know. The truly snobbish people I know, wouldn’t read this thread.

tkelly, I commented once, something like "good luck trying to find something with 2 br and 2 b for that amount, but today (Sunday) did see ONE 2/2 for $269K, the lowest I've ever seen. Don't know the condition, so that might be a factor, but perhaps if you are patient, you will find what you are looking for.

Such good advice. Just so many factors, personally I think more confusing than most places. With the villages in 3 counties, you have to check out all tax structures and WHICH utility companies you will have, what choices you have in TV, internet, what the school taxes are in each country, what the BOND (that's a really important one !), and a list of other things that could go on for many paragraphs on here. We thought we did our "homework" thoroughly when we built new, LOL ! Soon the cost of paver bricks (not essential of course), of plantation shutters, of simple things like ADDITIONAL closet and garage shelving, additional outlets on lanai or outdoors (over the standard in a new spec home), the list was endless. So many "extras" in a resale home, things you never expect to add up to some much, but then again, we are all different, none of these things may be anything you would want anyway !
