$38K is for designer lot/houses, I would think the smaller homes have lower a lower bond

Default Carport Villas

Hmm, they must be doing some sort of experiment to see how the market responds. Those villas are approx. 850 sq. ft. Kinda reminds me of a tiny house minus the wheels.

What's criminal about it? They'll charge what the market will bear. If no one buys them at that price, the price will come down. If people choose to buy them that's a private transaction and no one's business.

We looked inside the carport villas and they have the laundry hookups inside the house not in the storage area. One of the models only has room for stackable washer and dryer.

What Is Fair Market Value? | realtor.com(R)

A home's fair market value is the price it would sell for in a perfectly logical world—one where both home buyer and seller are acting of their own free will (in other words, they aren't desperate to make a sale) and are reasonably aware of a home's good and bad points, and where the buyer could just as easily choose a different house that suits her needs better.

Default Cost of Villas with Carports in Chitty Chatty

I looked on The Villages web site. The cheapest patio villa in Chitty Chatty currently for sale has a one car garage for $165,392.

Are the Chitty Chatty patio villas with the carports not for sale yet? If they are for sale, does anyone know the price?

Chitty Chatty is interesting because the lots are very different. Some are great but others were not. In some cases, there would be a LOT of space between houses. It made it interesting to look at the houses and critique them.

The walking/biking path around the large lake is very, very nice. We thought it was smart to have the MMP follow the power lines so the carts would not be speeding close to the homes.

We followed the MMP north until we got a very good view of the place where the new bridge will cross Route 44 and it looked pretty crazy. The new bridge will be high, and when the MMP comes downhill from the bridge it will take a sharp left turn, which could be dangerous.

This is the fourth time we have walked through C-C and it looks better each time.
Its less expensive than building a garage, so no surprise. Personally I would buy a house with a garage, instead of a carport. I think the carports look cheap, but as others pointed out, they would be okay for renters.

A final thought on this is that the developer knows their market and their customers and what they are looking for in a house. They obviously feel there is a market for such a house design. They've proven this time and again. For a rental unit these two new floor plans look to be ideal.
So I guess Goldwingnut is right because I the email I received today from my TV realtor the narrator in the video calls it a “Porte- cochere.” Not a carport!
