Finally Moving to The Villages
Our house has been on the market for almost a year. Well, we got a contract, had all the inspections, got an appraisal, and signed all the paperwork. It is finally final. OUR HOUSE IS SOLD! On July 29 we are out of here.
We can't wait to move to The Villages and start a new phase in our lives. I've been reading TOTV frequently since our April 2010 visit. I've learned a lot of great information here and had a lot of laughs. We have a visit planned for the end of June to find our new home. We are looking forward to moving to Lower Paradise and meeting a lot of great Villagers (or Village people). Kathy and Jack

Congrats to you both for selling your home after a year and on your new journey to become full time Villagers.
Your story will provide hope for the many wannabes that are still trying to sell their homes and move the the Villages. Enjoy. |

So happy for you! Putting our house on the market in a couple of weeks but we will be down for the month of July to look for our "last" home. We can't wait. Where in Delaware are you from? I am originally from Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Best wishes to you. I am sure you will find the perfect home in the perfect place.

Congratulations, Kathyzapp -
Since you have already sold your home, may I suggest you look at re-sale homes in The Villages. Get a sales agent from Villages Property to show you the available homes listed with Villages Properties AND an agent from a broker like REMAX or ERA to show you homes listed with MLS. Villages agents can only show houses listed with Villages Properties and outside agents can only show homes listed with MLS. In my opinion, resales are a better deal because the bond will be much lower than in a new home, you see exactly what you will be getting in a resale, you can negotiate price with the seller, more mature landscaping, no construction around you. I called Villages Properties to find out what the bond cost is on some new premier homes on 466. The bond is $50,000. Most new homes are averaging around $23,000 to $30,000 bond. My home was built in 2002 and when I bought in late 2009, the bond was $2,000. Makes a big difference on the annual tax bill. Anyhow, congratulations on your sale. You will have a great time as a Villager. Hope to meet you sometime. |

Woohoo! I am SO happy for you. I can't wait until ours is sold. But then we still have to get it listed. I have one week left before I leave to finish getting our stuff packed up. Hope to run into you at one of the TOTV meetups soon.
