The first price of $189,*** did include furniture per the TV sales person on our visit to it although the first group of pictures of this home on the web site didn't show the furniture. Did TV make a mistake on the starting price of the home? I can't say.

Just about a month ago we were interested in purchasing a court yard villa.(CYV). We were interested in 4 different CYVs, however, we could not get to Florida quick enough and 3 were sold in a matter of days. We were lucky we did get the 4th choice since the party who put the deposit were not able to complete the sale. AT the time there were quite a few homes and patio villas for sale, many of them are still for sale. Not sure what happened in early to mid May but property seemed to be “flying off the shelves.” Now at least from what I see things have slowed down, but I’m far from an expert and aren’t privy to any sales numbers. Seems to me homes and patio villas aren’t selling as quickly as CYVs. We would have liked a free standing in home in Chatam but as snowbirds, lawn maintenance was a consideration. Our CYV has no lawn that’s fine with me because my home in the north has plenty of lawn. |

I checked a March 22 paper listing of three new homes in Fenney/DeSoto to the current web site price to note a $4,000 increase in all three. These are in addition to the one I already discussed.
6f018 Sandpiper 208,... now 212,... 10F036 Alder 243,... now 247,... 9F017 Crawford 273,... now 277,... There was a price increase on many new homes at the beginning of June. |

Quite a few golf course lots in McClure have already been sold without a hint in advertising. Really hard to believe how many homes have been sold in DeSoto.

New home sales in TV have always been quite robust, but recent years are quite a bit less than in the years of 2004 thru 2006 when they averaged over 4000 new homes sold per year. Average sales for 2015 to 2017 was slightly more than 2000 per year. |

Your original post was about how many new home sales there are now, I showed you that the numbers they are posting now are nowhere near what they did in years past. So nothing remarkable. Now you are adding TV resales and MLS resales to the mix, comparing apples to oranges. No doubt TV sells lots of homes, but current numbers are about 50% of what they did previously. |

Not all real estate agents are Realtors, but all Realtors are real estate agents. The difference is A Realtor is an agent who belongs to the National Association of Realtors and takes an ethics course. The Village agents are not Realtors. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have dealt with realtors who practice zero integrity and those who simply hold a real estate license who practice with the utmost of integrity. Attending a few seminars on ethics will not change an unethical person. The term realtor is a distinction without a difference. Bottom line, trust no one and check everything.

If the economic news turns out to be true i.e. trade wars, the prices of new homes could go up even more due to higher cost of materials, which could make re-sales more attractive.

If the cost of a new home goes up i would assume re-sale asking prices would go up also so I doubt that cost will affect the ratio. I would go further into discussing any "possible" trade war but that is not the topic here.
