If you haven't had a chance to drive down to the end of Conservation Trail you should. It is pretty nice.

I will assume you mean that price with a house on the lot???

When we bought 4+ years ago, the lot for our (Designer) house was about $40,000 extra.
It is on a cul-de-sac and about 1/4 of an acre.
I'm sure the price would be higher in today's market.

Surely that is either a misprint...or includes a house.

Who in the world would pay $545,000...for just a lot here?

Someone who is putting up a $1.0M+ house on the lot. You should drive down there - it is pretty nice.

I think the poster was referring to the upcharge for lot. Lots are never sold alone.

Makes sense. I guess a non villages lot could be 20k.

Quite a few. And they were amazing. Are amazing locations.

3384 Conservation Trl, The Villages, FL 32163 | Zillow (THIS doesn't show Conservation Trail. Google hasn't caught up with the growth here, lol)

Here is another "vague" mapping of Conservation Trail. It is south of 466a.

there are several location throughout TV where the LOTS ONLY are/were $600,000 or more.
In Bridgeport at Lake Miona at the far end of Lake Miona Drive there is a cul de sac and the lots facing the lake were $600,000+.

$545,000 is the lot premium Add the house on top of that. And you have to build in a pretty tight time frame. I know of someone one who paid a $600,000 premium on a prime Conservation Trail lot earlier in the year and is living there now.

Dan is right. There are lots in the new chatham acres going for $500,000+ just for the lot...

Of course you can offer a price on a turnkey home that does not include the furniture. Most sellers want to sell the home and are open to offers. My neighbors bought a 2bed/2bath home that was turnkey and had a truck come and take away most of the furniture to donate it. I saw the furniture and it was dated. I bought a 2bed/2bath home and I paid approximately 10K above (neighbor's comparable sale price for the same home) for turnkey that was beautiful furniture that I kept. After looking for a home for 2 years, it is just my opinion that decent furniture is worth about 10K on a smaller home. What size is the home you are considering? Less desirable/dated furniture is worth about 3-5K, but I would ask that it be removed by the seller first....to save you the trouble.

2. Turn key versus not turn key
How much does selling a property turn key add to the cost of a home in general. Furniture is OK but nothing outstanding. If a home is offered as turn key, can you make an offer minus the furniture? How much would you deduct for for the value of the furnishings?

Thanks for any insights you might be able to give me.

I would estimate "preserve, water view, or golf view" adds 33-40% to the price. Example: same home both sides of street, home is 250k on non view side, add 85k for view = 335k.

I would estimate "furnished" adds 2% to the price. Example: home is 250k non furnished, add 5k for furnishings =255k.

IMHO...that's just nuts.

Whatever the market will bear I guess.
