What a bunch of SNOBS!
 

Due diligence is #1, especially in ‘The Bubble’! There certainly are available homes in that price range-new or pre-owned. As 1 NICE poster linked in Newell. One caveat though, if important, Newell is in Lake County and there is an additional % in property taxes. We have been looking for awhile (2 bros there). It is both beautiful & confusing in pricing but maybe take a visit & check it out if you haven’t yet.
HAPPY HUNTING!

Before you arrive, contact a Villages realtor and non-Villages realtor. You can discuss what you are looking for in a home and the price points. If the home is listed with a Villages realtor, a non-Villages realtor cannot show the home. If the home is listed with a non-Villages realtor, a Villages realtor cannot show the home. The realtors will be able to show you the pre-owned homes available. Good luck

I know of Lake, Sumter and Marion counties. What is the 4th?

Those new home in Newell, are they in the City of Wildwood?

They are in Lake County and are in Leesburg.

Good luck with that!

Sure BUT expect to pay higher taxes in that area too......thats why the homes are cheaper

don't be discouraged a seller that wants to sell will come down in price, the one's that don't say away from.

Newell isn't "between 466 and 466A", where the OP asked about...

There was a beautiful 2/2 Colony in Duval that needed a little updating but no because it was unlivable like one poster said! It was listed got $280 and that’s what it sold for. You must be super aggressive, no loyalty to any one agent and be here with your checkbook ready to strike like a Viper when you see a deal. The deals are here I promise you. People are fishing for big money and most are kidding themselves. Some houses need renovations from the doorbell back. Others are fine for a reasonable price. I have a great,fantastic realtor. I don’t want to give you her name because that may limit your potential to contact MANY REALTORS. I also want to help you and not give her name to you and turn this into an advertisement for a specific realtor. From what I’ve seen with my own eyes in the last 60 days your request is reasonable and are you ready for this, a little bit on the high side at $250,000.

I know that this is not a direct answer to your question but MICHAEL61 came up with a perfect alternative. New areas south of 44. People who speak badly about this area are misinformed, jealous or just want to be controversial. You wii be GOLDEN. Be ready to put some work in on your search. Realtors must list the previously owned homes they have the privilege to sell but they don’t have to list them quickly! They try to sell it so they can double dip on the commission, I would do the same if I was them. Good Luck! Wanna see you get a killer deal, we did!
