Can you share info on home please???? We are interested in your home most likely and can close FAST----------cash.

I think as soon as the Fed raises interest rates (due to obvious inflation caused by a surge in deficit-spending by the govt), the housing market is going to cool off in a big way. That being said, TV is picking up something like 4,500 new residents a year. The demand for housing here is going to remain high as will prices

supply and demand regulate any market, Real Estate is up nationwide, because rates are so low. Buy a used home with the bond paid off. Buy something you can fix up easy, carpet paint granite.

The tariffs are the reason we bought in 2018 before selling our other Florida home. We figured prices would increase. Factor in low interest rates and COVID and tada. Tariffs have not decreased and they are actually looking at increasing tariffs on Canadian lumber. As interest rates stay low I would expect continued pressure on availability and price. We have owned a home we lived in for 10 years and sold for less than we paid. Also had a house in NJ we lived in for 2 years and sold for 40% profit. Land value was that catalyst. My crystal ball does not work. Look at your situation and if you are comfortable buying and planning to stay a while, buying may be an option. We are in Fenney. Resales do not stay on the market long. My guess is prices here are up 30%. Please also realize most resales have window treatments, crown molding, enclosed lanai, pavered driveway, garage floor sealed, water softener, water treatment and/or other things you may add to new construction. If finishes are to your liking you may be ahead of the game.

Hi All -
I again sincerely appreciate all your guidance, suggestions and also wish to thank everyone for their private messages. I wish that I could respond to the private messages but my computer virus program is preventing me from responding. I have no idea how to turn-off the virus protection.

As I previously stated, renting for me now is much easier and much cheaper than buying. Today, I just rented a lovely home for only 21K for the entire year, utilities included and the home is brand new and recently purchased for over 460K. Also, the house comes with a new golf cart I can cruise around in and I believe that 2 of the 3 bathrooms have never been used.

In my humble opinion, the price of homes will peak in the next 18 months and I believe that the pricing home bubble will pop and I don't want to be stuck with an over priced home. Thanks again! And I am from the Keystone State.

Send PM pls!

Property values in The Villages have never gone down in any year since 1985. I understand your concern about the bubble bursting, but The Villages is not like any other place in the country.

I have a six year old three bedroom, two bath Sun Kissed cottage home in Silver Lake that I'll be selling. It has a two car garage and is turnkey.

There are three pools, two golf courses, three rec centers, and tennis courts.

There is no bond in that area. Insurance and taxes are very low.

I'm asking $265,000.

My house is just like this one.

There is plenty of upside IMHO. People are fleeing high tax - high crime major cities. Most are escaping to relatively safe low tax havens having decent weather. The Villages has about as little downside as anywhere. How does price appreciation in TV compare to that in the Boise area where prices had as of January 2021 tripled in ten years?

Prices are still low relative to the Northeast. Eventually the smart ones will flee that area and free up their equity

$21K down the toilet. if you're planning to be here many years, buy in. and buy in soon

not really 21K down the toilet. She's not paying any of the 13K-15K carrying costs (amenities, maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc. etc.). She's not paying interest costs on a mortgage. 21K for a year, for a nice place, is a good price. Yes, prices may go up, but they might not. The money she didn't have to put up for down payment etc. may do well otherwise invested.

Nobody really knows.

Since, according to Inside the Bubble, half the VIllages buyer pay cash - and many of the other half probably could (why pay cash when your can borrow at 2%) - not sure increased rates will affect the market.

She's loosing out on any appreciation which could be a lot more than carrying costs. The new homes south of 44 have been going up consistently since opening in 2017, several price increases every year and then this years crazy high increases. I don't think they have maxed out yet. Just one man's opinion right or wrong.

There are 41 million Americans between 50 and 60. In the last year, many of those 50 somethings realized they can work from anyplace with an internet connection. Why not work in a house with 54 holes of golf within 10 minutes of your garage? And have your retirement home to boot.
