I noticed the Alder model in Finney use to be called the Allamander. I wonder why they rename them. What makes it unique is that it is poured concrete not block. I think it is the least expensive stucco designer home.

Did you mean 'Allamanda?'

Or did they have a model named 'Allamander?'

Likely marketing, like much of the rest of this thread. If you look at the Veranda homes, I believe they are all existing designer home models, but when they make a Veranda home out of it, they call it by a different name. The Veranda I bought is called a Hillsdale but is the same home as the Mossy Oak designer floor plan. What is it they say about a rose by another name? This is not a new tactic and in some ways it helps avoid confusion. Many of the designer homes are called one name when they are stucco construction and called something else when vinyl sided versions of the same floor plan.

If you are from NJ, and pronounce oil, earl, the Villages sell an Allamander model that looks the same and cost the same as the Allamanda but feels more like home.
They don't miss a trick.

Yeah, but a lot of the upgrades could be things you may not want, like summer kitchens, crown molding, or driveway pavers.

In addition, a lot of people watch HGTV and believe the hosts when they say, "These $50K upgrades increased the value of the house by $80K." Dream on.

There are changes made in the models due to not having a lawn area on one side of the house they eliminated windows. The Midland model is an Ivy without sliders in the kitchen and a smaller lanai to accommodate a concrete slab and windows filled in on the non-lawn area side. In any event they are selling the veranda models at a fast pace.

There is no road noise inside Fenney it is just on the perimeter homes along 468 and that is why they have been discounted. Future development will not increase road noise except for that particular area. They are great deals if you are used to hearing cars and trucks. I'm sure the homes built along 466A, 466, Buena Vista, and Morse were discounted also when they were new as there is a lot of traffic on those roads also.

I just talked to a friend of mine last night that told me his realtor said prices were going up $6-9,000 in June in the Fenney/Desota area and now would be the time to buy. Realtor said they were just out of a sales meeting(two days ago) and this is what was told to them. Rumor? Sales ploy? Time will tell.

I have heard time and time again that no future changes are EVER discussed in meetings with Villages reps. Our rep has told us several times that when a change happens, THEY hear it at the same time there is a general announcement to the public.

Realtor??? If you are writing about Villages reps they are not Realtors.

I'm not so sure that raising the existing home prices in Fenny and Desota 6k to 9k will sell many new homes. I think its a sales tactic...

But I do think, that just maybe, raising new home prices will help out resales in the upper villages proper.

That might just be a good thing for people selling there homes.

A realtor is an agent selling property so yes, they are realtors.

If the increase is true, it's 2% after a year of selling, that is to be expected. According to todays paper TV agents sold 2,200 new homes and 2,200 re-sales in 2017. That ratio will most likely stay the same for 2018.
