I noticed there were price reductions on homes for sale on TV home finder site for Village of Linden. Anything going on there?

[Altavia]

The model homes owned by The Villages went up for sale, some completely furnished, all have contracts in work now, some had up to 20 backup offers....

Very possible that the sellers were asking more than actual market value.

Technically these homes have had no one living in them, but how you can list model homes that have have people going through them for over two years as "new" escapes me.

Per the app, the furnished houses in Linden are all pending. How much were they discounted..?

[Rick new guy]

Looks like discount was between 25-50 grand on the more expensive homes

I am neither buying or selling but as far as pricing. I've noticed some very strange things.
Homes are priced at like 593,487. when, if they drop the price say $400 it is then 593,087. Mighty strange. A price drop would normally be TEN or TWENTY thousand.
Seems to be a game just to get some new attention

Real estate is strange to say the least. It does not matter unless it is in writing. The contract will surely list it as a display home and the buyer will or should get a discount.
Like so many things, you need to decide to buy it or not and at what price. The market is hot. Prices are up everywhere not just in the villages.

Some people want to choose the counter top, floors etc. We chose a home that was completed on speculation. We, I am pleased with the choices THEY made. Time and stress for the wife to decide flooring, appliances etc etc etc would take years and then after it was all done she would change her mind.

Standard practice in TV for years. Even the lifestyle homes when done are sold as new.

Prices are only reduced if homes aren’t moving fast enough at prior asking price.

[CWGUY]

Last several homes are sometimes reduced or discounted to close out sales in a Village.

funny, I have no interest in following the price of housing in TV... yes I'm glad that it's going up, but
I'm not going anywhere....they'll carry me out of this place

so really

what do I care

I'm glad they're going up, but it really doesn't matter to me...I'm not in the market

I'm following the prices of the bottles of wine that I like

Yup. It looks like they are selling off the model homes in that section.

They may have been selling them furnished, but now they're unfurnished...

Probably have already built new ones in a different village...

After all who is going to benefit from the rise in house prices? our kids and the tax man...

[bowlingal]

Daves... reductions that much are NOT what happens here. Maybe from up North, yes.....but not here
