Very exciting! Always great to make a house “your home”. After many houses during our lifetime, we realize there is no such thing as “perfect” house even if you build it custom from scratch. There is always something different or better if you could just do it over. That said, as everybody says “in The Villages it’s the lifestyle not the house”. Neighbors too play an important part in your village experience. This is a great place to live. Good luck and congratulations.

We made the offer on a house there - a long shot, but was accepted. We have a lot of work ahead to make it “OUR home “. Amazing experience, it’s too long of a story to share here. It’s better over a beer at a town square... but isn’t that true about a lot of things? We do feel blessed and so very welcomed. Thank you!!!

Tom, we looked on Conservation trail, but didn't see a sign on a house that said Pending. Is your realtor asleep at the switch? What is your house #, PM me if you don't want to post it here, thanks

Well done, Tom et al. There are cold drinks and snacks awaiting you at Chez Gantner when you arrive and find your bearings.

You will never regret your decision. I love your street and have friends who live on it.

So happy for you.

WooHoo!

This is a seller's market
There are more interested buyers than homes for sale.

One-year prediction
Zillow predicts the home values in 32162 will increase 7.2% in the next year.

Zillow’s values are all over the place. They can’t seem to accurately differentiate the type of lot which adds or subtracts considerably from the value. I track a few properties over 2 years now and have seen increases and declines of over $50k in a single day. Try and find a 3br 2bath golf Course CYV. Thousands built but few are for sale especially 466S.
