I looked at the permit for that house and it's only a permit for demolition and removal. There was not building permit in the dropbox as of last week. I'll take another look next time I go by.

The one on the corner of Lauren and West Schwartz has a building permit for a manufactured home.

The new POA bulletin said that 40 properties were purchased, and the reason is that they would be unisurable at resale.

I was told by a neighbor that the developer is buying up homes of people who have mortgages and want to get out. No word on what they will be replacing them with.

I also heard that they are supposedly taking the manufactured homes that they bought and moving them, furniture and all to a new site outside of The Villages. It's hard for me to believe that they can split these double wides and move them to a new site with the furniture still inside them.

Pull the skirting off and throw the wheels back on???

The house permit at 440 Tarrson still is only for demolition. No building permit as of yet.

They are beginning to tear down another house at 1016 Matthew Ave.

Another one has been taken down at Parker Rd. No building permit yet, just a demolition permit.

Is that the house next door to the one that was relplaced after the fire?

I wouldn't expect them to say anything positive about the developer, but I think he is renovating them to keep his crews working and to sell them for a profit. In so doing he will improve the area and increase property values for the residents there.

Yes. The woman who owned it left to be with her ailing mother up in Connecticutt.

She had it on the market for several months at $120,000. Then she suddenly left.

I can't imagine what it must be like to live with so much anger and pain that one would have to feel the need to insult people in order to feel better about themself.

It's really very sad.

Poured footers at the Tarrson lot. Just rode by.

Here are some photos of the property on Tarrson. They have poured the footings and there is a building permit with engineer stamped and approved drawings for the entire project.

Also, from the Tarrson address:

On Mark:

And, on Matthew. Yes, beside the new house that replaced the house that burnt.

Here's another one that is coming out and being replaced on the original side.
