When you go to the website pcri2009 suggested it will list the name of the owners.

Russ maybe they changed since December or the sales people have differnt rules ... I almost put $ down on a golf site and he was giving me a year --

Might also have to do with the month that one is looking --I have been told that sales people get different bonuses in the off months ..

Hope they are still willing in June

We were just on a Lifestyle Preview and we were told the same, Russ. Only the lots left over after the most desirable ones are gone can be "reserved" for the year, though we were told the maximum we had to put down was $7500.
Perhaps we misunderstood that part. LOVE reading all the posts. Can't wait to move in 2011! Wish it were tomorrow.

It just says "Vacant residential. The Villages of Lake Sumter Landing." AND it does look like there are three lots there.

Where are people getting the price of that particular vacant lot?

I say that I have never heard of anything listed in sumterpa.com until the property was closed on.

I'll ask again when we're down in May.

HA!
Before we bought we looked at that unique FSBO home buried deeply and darkly in huge trees in Harmeswood - been on the market for 5 years now.......
Called the owner in orlando
Said no lookee insidee - want it, send a check.
He said the house was free - he wanted .75m and that was the value of the lot.
Funny thing is whatever the perceived value is or was, it's far lower today than when they started.

Thanks to those who have been posting the photos and news
keep us briefed

There's a house on Harley Circle (Bridgeport at Lake Sumter) with 2 double garages + a golf cart garage, 2756 square feet of garage space. That's the largest one I've seen. A house in Harmeswood boasts what I'm pretty sure is the only RV garage in the villlages, plus two other garages, for a total of 2512sf of garage.

From what I've seen, most people with Premiers who want to make major modifications or additions do it after they buy.

Our great rep Jim Mclaughlin said that it was being built for some folks. Lucky folks....NO, hardworking folks if they can afford that lovely home. Hope they are very happy in it.
