I recall that the Enclave was the first new Premier area in some time. I didn't know people could build premier homes, but here is this one in Lake Denham. Hefty price too, without a pool.

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

Terrible lot, the owners didn't live there very long.

Small for a premier.

$1.4M????

I've seen nicer homes around TV for half that price.... Is the lot worth $700k???

just sayin'.

And the owners are selling for more than twice what they paid last year.

Yeah it seems high. There are 2 resale designer homes listed in Lake Denham in the 800s. I’m interested to see what they go for. Of course I’m biased as my home is also in Lake Denham. The prices seem high considering we live in a desert. I mean it’s pricey if you have to charter a plane to get to a Publix or a town square.

It is a tricky market. There are quite a few buyers with that kind of money to spend. But, THEY determine what is important in a home they will purchase. Some sellers walk away with a good amount of cash in their pocket. Others are not as lucky. They have to remain in their home, discount the price to get out, or take a loss if there is a need to sell. Sadly, some bought another home in the Villages BEFORE theirs sold (thinking they had an easy sale) and now they are stuck paying for both. There is money to be made, but not all will see it. The enormous inventory of homes is proof of this. It is a buyer's market and they call all the shots.

Whatever you do, be careful of buying a home significantly jacked up in price. Even if you LOVE it and have a healthy bank account. If you change your mind and want to sell, the task may be harder than you anticipate. Some homes are sitting for longer than a year without any interest. Even with several hefty price reductions.

The Bridgeport model that sold in Lake Denham has a semi private pond (shared with 2 neighbors) on a preserve lot. Some will pay top dollar for that kind of privacy. Stunning! The finishings inside were done extremely well. I wouldn't be surprised if the buyer places it back on the market with a million dollar+ price tag in a short amount of time. That is a rare home.

Same floor plan as a Designer "Robin" model, which is the same as the renamed Designer "Woodside " model. But it's been stretched a bit and has a 4 car (instead if a 2 + golf cart) garage. Waaaay overpriced...

Mickel Terrace. Nice but I was surprised at the price. The lot has a pond and preserve view. But the walking trail is also on that view. The space for a pool is on the side. It’s a nice lot. It is pending as the original owner hasn’t had it a year yet. Won’t close until the year is up. But this is making at least $200K profit I believe. Go figure.

The 2 I mentioned are MLS listings. One on 1725 Van beck and the other on 6857 Baysinger. Just searched and Baysinger is FSBO for 799 now.

On the OP posted home; guarantee if it sells at that price, it’ll be sight unseen. Not til potential owners step foot on site....will they realize they’ve been fleeced. Again, just my opinion

I wish I had the cash to spend 1.4 million without even seeing it in person.

Just a hunch. Those types of deals happen more often than you think
