If someone is about to close, when they go for their closing, they should just ask how many closings they are doing a day to their closing agent. And then how many agents are working on closings. Voila! It woudl be interesting to know. |
3,254 new homes sold in the last 12 months. This was in yesterday's newspaper.

Closing are posted in the LSL Sales Center.. Also in Brownwood and mist likely in SS but I did not go into SS. |
The closings posted in the Sales Center also include pre-owned. Ours was listed and we bought pre-owned. So if you add pre-owned to the number from yesterdays paper, the "sales" number would be significantly higher than 3000. Statistics can be viewed various ways.
We are south of 466a and love it. Have great neighborhood with active drive way socials each month. Very friendly and nice folks. Traffic bad this year, but I'd rather be with a lot of nice people, than a few grumpy ones that are snowed in!!! (I'm in Michigan right now for a few days and getting grumpier by the snow flake) |

First of all if you would shop at 9am instead of 12 pm or shop at 5pm or later, even in the busy season would find it okay. Publix has all 12 checkouts working busy times and i have never seen 10 deep and i work there. Will help when new one is built or go to sweet bay when 2 deep is a crowd. As for golf if you consider off site once in a while like today there is a coupon in the paper for twin oaks, 99 bucks a foursome and you get hot dog chips and soda. Went there last week and it is a nice course. The biggest problem here is if you don't have a priority during the busy season you don't get times and courses you want. As for practice ranges i have no clue.

First off to the poster that moved here in 2006 the population has probably grown by 40K+ since then, It's February everybody who could possibly be here is here plus guests so yea it's crowded. As for the Golf courses I can't comment as I don't play. Yes you'll wait longer at a restaurant and that's a good thing because crowds are what brings more businesses. As for the Publix in Colony yes it's very crowded and will get much worse with 2200 more homes coming to Fruitland Park area. But I go at 7AM and I'm in and out back home and unpacking in an hour. I don't see the new Publix in Brownwood taking that many people away from Colony. Sweetbay certainly hasn't had that big of an effect on Colony. If your not happy or your surprised with the crowds then all I can say is you didn't do your homework before you moved here period. So grin and bare it April is coming. JMO

Love bugs will solve the problem
The Love Bugs will solve the problem. Every year when the Love Bugs come the Snow Birds are gone.
The Snow Bird is a very smart bird. It seems that the Snow Bird does not like the taste of the Love Bug so the Snow Bird leaves just before the Love Bug arrives. I have seen this happen every year that I have lived hear. You gotta love the Love Bug! They solve the crowding problem. Just don't drive to fast while they are here. They will sacrifice their life to slow down automobiles. The Love Bug doesn't seem to know the difference between north or south of 466A it goes everywhere. They even go to Stonecrest! |

MY FAVORITE QUOTE! :a20: |
If you are still up and dressed and not dancing at the squares, the Publix at Colony is a WONDERFUL place to shop at 8:30pm!
but to be honest, I have never seen the checkout lines very long....they schedule the checkout and bagging personnel according to the volume of shoppers. |
Sweetbay is open til 11 on 466a

Disagreement Is Not Disloyalty
Quote:
Hi villagerjack: Let me acknowledge that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That is my way of saying we all look at the same thing but draw very different conclusions. It is a fact that Americans can't stand ..standing in line that is why TaskRabbit has such a bustling business. I have been here since 2006 and believe I am correct in stating that each subsequent off season has shown an increase in population. I still believe we have plenty of people living in and around TV to support businesses. As to restaurants they fold all the time mostly because of poor management. Yes you can play late in the day for $5 in summer but the championship courses charge more per round in prime season (Oct thru May) than most off campus so in my view it is wash. I have always been perplexed that a number of people on this forum view disagreement as disloyalty when t comes to expressing concerns regarding TV. I may not like the crowds but it does not follow that I do not like TV Some folks always make that assumption and there simply is no way to correct their thinking Personal Best Regards |

Does this just apply to Sumter County water hook-ups, or does it also include Lake County water hook-ups, which is St John's river basin? |

What????? Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Quote:

The thing we all need to understand is that the posts on here represent only opinions and experiences. There is not 1 single person who is the final word on anything. No one has the right to say that I am wrong unless I try to say something is fact, and they KNOW me to be wrong 100%. And by the same token, I cannot say anyone is wrong unless I am 100% sure. I did not say for fact that TV sells 6000+/- houses a year, just that I was told that. The rest of what I said has been my experiences, and I stand by what I said. I feel that the Villages are crowded, and are going to get more and more crowded. Obviously, there are some ways to minimize the crowds. But no matter what, I still love living here. |

Snowbird seasion makes for more crowding, so one must paln accordingly.
Only Gary Morse knows what is going to be built here!!!!! I am confident he has plans to build more businesses, to suppot the influx of more people. In time, any area will be built up, to accomodate the amount of reidents, in that area. I'm sure they were areas, that when built, didn't have all the businesses near them as it is today. In time, the businesses, that will come to a particular area will make crowding more controllable, When the snowbirds leave, things will go back to normal. Patience, grasshopper!!! It will work itself out. |
If they are selling 3,200 plus NEW homes a year, presumably they are all in the same NEW areas where they are building which is south of 466A. That accounts for apx. 6,500 additional people yearly. I have been here two years and for sure see a difference with an additional 10,000 - 13,000 people added. If you figure this will be going on for another two or three years, that is an additional 20,000 plus people. Widening of roads is occurring and, in fact, new traffic patterns are emerging along with new golf courses and services...slowly...but the population will feel less crowed after things sort themselves and people aren't rushing down below 466A to view open houses, try new courses, see what's happening in Brownwood to try everything out in the new area. Even Eisenhower is a destination now for visitors. It isn't going to be a sleepy area but it should become less frenetic. That's my opinion..not supported by a darn thing.
