These maps are color coded and show the sold and unsold lots; you can get an idea from the lot maps that the view lots are sold pretty quick when a new village opens.
Could you post a link of this? I couldn't find it. Thanks.

I've often wondered how they come up with the "premiums" on lots. Maybe they hire Watson, the IBM computer?

I know exactly how they do it:

They price them as high as people will pay:)

thanks for the example Jackz
 
Thanks for the example and for letting us know that this situation can work out. We also have our eye on several lots in the soon to be opening Sanibel areas and are leaving on a transatlantic cruise in Nov. Of course we know the lots will open while we are gone so we are trying to do what we can to make sure we get one that we want. It's nice to hear that someone else pulled it off. Wish us luck. :ho:

I'm not sure how to post a link, but this is how I found it.
If you go to thevillages.com website and on the left side click on "new cottage home neighborhood". There are several areas south of 466a listed on this link (not just the cottage neighborhood). Click on any of the available lots, and it shows the premium.

Just copy the link itself into your reply:

Note: Some of The Villages' web site links are squirrely - they'll take you back to the TOTV home page when you click on them. There are older threads on TOTV regarding the topic. This link, however, seems to be fine.

I just looked at the site and found it very interesting. I will take the $199,000 lot premium tacked onto my new premier home right after I hit the lottery. I wonder if I should pay off the bond or wait?

Also found one lot with a $0 premium and the one next door is $7000. I wonder what is up with that.

Good luck to you. My suggestion is to advise your salesperson that you will check email once a day while on the cruise and are prepared to make your decision if the right lot comes along. By providing your credit card info to your sales rep in advance and an undated check for the 5k, you can make this work. Enjoy your cruise and your future purchase.
