Quite possibly the "sale" last year was for the lot only?

A little less than three years ago we sold our home in Mallory for full asking price to the first people to look at it on Day 1. I had set the price very close to the top priced comparative sales.

Eighteen months later the buyers decided to move back north and put the house up for sale. It sold in about an hour for their full asking price which was $165,000 more than they paid me for it only 18 months earlier. And from what I hear, prices are much higher now.

Home buyers' wisdom is more precious than pearl.

Homes went up 18+% in Florida the month of November 2021 alone.

House Sold
 
You are correct - the prices are going crazy UP -- same thing in Michigan where we came from! Behind LSL are the Lakeside Cottages -- one year ago one sold (on the lake) for $1.3M - it never made the paper! It just sold for $1.55M after one year and this also did not make the sales floor!!! Good luck in your search.

AND the worst part is they're asking prices as if they were up North in the NY/NJ/CT region - and they don't even have an attic/basement or decent sized lot that most of those homes have!

And then we had the bubble BURST and home prices dropped drastically. Wouldn't suggest that people buy in this market as an investment to flip with the previous market that happened....

People, People, People............

Go back into history and see what happened to home prices in The Village in 2007/2008/2009. Get the facts.

The Villages home values did not fall even 50% of the national averages. It was closer to 25% of the national hit. NOT 25% value hit, 25% of the national hit.

Breath people, Breath.

:ho:

No home in TV is sold lot only. When you put money on a lot you have x amount of days to start build. House price does not show on property info until it is completed

The current price increase seems to be the cost of materials and labor... labor is in such demand and so much work right now. Look for a temporary solution and wait. I am also looking for a home in the Villages... I'm a cash buyer and when I see it... I will have to jump!!! no hesitation allowed.
Another young person coming......welcome.
