It took her four years to sell. I can't say if the market there was bad, her house was undesirable or perhaps overpriced. I only know that she sold it two years ago after it had been on the market 4 years. I should haven been more specific.

Thank you steve9930 for your informative post. You answered many questions.
I have one more. I understand that the golf course and restaurant were purchased recently as you said. I had heard that the retention ponds were now being maintained by the residents? Maybe I misunderstood? If this is fact, is there discussion of the HOA fees being raised? I know you can not predict the future of the HOA fees.....just wondering if there is "rumor" discussion regarding this? Thanks again. You have a beautiful community. |

The maintenance of the facilities you mention is supported by the dollars spent by the public using these facilities. They are open to the public, not just to TV. Your original statement just does not make sense.

The HOA Fees have been kept at $106 for this year. I got here in 2004 and the HOA Fees were $102. They sometimes go up about $1 per month. I would expect an increase next year since its been $106 for two years now. If you are thinking about buying in the Community there are three documents that regulate Stonecrest, Declaration of Covenants, Articles of Incorporation, and the Bylaws. I would ask for a copy of all three. There are electronic versions of each. The other document that regulates communities like Stonecrest is Florida Statue 720. It will give you a good feel about the regulations in a community like Stonecrest. If you need anything else fell free to ask. |

Yes, I do live here in the villages. We are simply investigating all options for a possible move in the future. Been looking in TV, Stonecrest and even in Palm Coast (I miss the ocean). Nothing for sure right now. We are also investigating assisted care facilities for a member of our family, so our desision to buy is based on a lot of things. It doesn't hurt to find out about other communities nearby, plus it has generated a lot of lively discussion. 😃

Houses in The Villages continue to appreciate at a rate that is perhaps higher than any other area of the country. In all of the comparisons of other areas outside The Villages I have not seen any mention of home appreciation.
It has been well established over the years that you get more home for your buck in Stonecrest and other developments in the area. Many homes in The Villages have appreciated over $50,000 in the last 4 years. And that could be a conservative estimate. Home appreciation is perhaps a strong reason that you can get more home for your buck outside The Villages as those homes may have not enjoyed the appreciation The Villages has. Because of the high demand of homes in The Villages the value of the current homes built in The Villages continue to rise. All of that being said I wonder how much a 4 year home in Stonecrest has appreciated.

Interesting thread ! We have been around for 5 years. Prices have increased considerably. Now , residents now don't want to hear this BUT, Baby boomers are buying property here. Prices are HIGH. I am one of those. Consider what will happen in 10 to 20 years. Look at the birth rate after the baby boomer era....Considerably less. Now that means nothing to us that are now living but it will be important to our kids and grandkids. This place is so nice for us now and we should enjoy what we have. MY POINT....I feel it will not be sustained in the future....Just my opinion. would love to hear your thoughts.

baby boomers went until '64....still another 10 to 15 years of them coming. We may slow down appreciating at some point but they will still gain. When my dad passed away 8 years ago in Palm Bay his house lost half it's value in a year, here in the villages they just kept gaining and gaining.

If you investigate you will find that people who live just outside The Villages own homes in TV as rental properties Why?

I don't know, but I suspect it has something to do with the very high price of "lost" I.D. cards.
