Coming for a week's visit in December
Hello Everyone,
I have been gathering information up as my husband and I are thinking of moving to The Villages. We live in NJ. Our friends are in the process of getting their house built in the Village of Tamarine Grove. We are arriving on Dec 7 and staying for a week. We have a sales agent taking us around for two days to look at certain models that I already picked out. Could you please tell me is it better to buy a re-sale or have a house built? I found some re-sales that caught my interest that we want to look at. Reading some of the posts I don't quite understand about the bond issue? Can someone explain that to me? Is there anything else that we should be made aware of? I understand there are not too many lots left in The Villages? I am not sure if that is the case. Thanks Patti |

Patty.
There are THOUSANDS of lots left in The Villages and will be next year and the year after. My advice is take your time, enjoy this visit and go back and think about it some more. There isn't a rush. There will be many resales because frankly people do grow older and some move on to the village of Heavenly. The bond is like an expense for the roads and networks laid down before the home is built. It is about 22K for a designer that is new costing about 250K. Some resales have their bonds paid off and some have them paid down a little and older ones have their bonds paid down more.

New: Get more or less exactly what you want, lot, finish, style, etc. Entire neighborhood moves in at approx. same time and develop bonds (friendships) Everything is new and shiny and under warrenty Pre-Owned: In many cases low or no bond which MAY reduce the overall price. Opportunity to get upgrades (enclosed lanai, pavers, attic stairs, skylights, landscaping etc. etc.) at little or no extra cost Ability to chose the part of TV where you want to live: eg; near 466, near Spanish Springs or Market Square, near hospital, dog parks, shopping, pool, rec center etc. etc. Mature landscaping in many areas Ability to negotiate sales price There is no right or wrong answer - it depends on what you are looking to acheive.
