PS. I hope they are premier homes! Would hate to pay a $72,000 bond for a designer home!

Marketing, it’s all about marketing, the same thing happened in districts 10 & 11. It’s just a homesite until marketing department says it’s something else.

Time will tell, the economy and interest rates will have an impact.

Unless I missed someone posting this, the street names and lots are on the map now... (and apparently I don't know how to post pics on this board) but if you look up the map village of Dabney and scroll in you can see it.

There's a gate at the entry, wonder if this will be for residents only?

NO THANK YOU! I’ve never received a dime from the Villages for my work and don’t plan on it in the future. As soon as I work for them I lose credibility for being objective. All I did was bring the information to the people based on what I was able to find by digging in public documents. Did I burst their bubble by beating them to the announcement? Probably so, welcome to the 21st century Villages.

I love where I live and hate misinformation, this is what drives my videos.

LOL. I was being funny because your videos likely got these lots sold. In any case one of your vids went right over the Lake Denham housr I just bought. Thanks for your hard work and videos. They’ve been very helpful.

Thanks, you're right though, my videos have helped make a lot of people decide to buy in The Villages. In January of 22 I had a bet, for a beer, that I had helped at least 100 people decide to buy here and asked people to respond either to the video or on social media. In less than 24 hours over 200 people responded yes, and 2 responded they decided not to buy here because of my videos. All were probably the right decisions. Needless to say, I won my beer easily.

I'm not trying to sell houses for the developer, I'm just trying to bring good information to people, there's way too much misinformation out there.
I'm generally a positive person and try to see the best in things, if you're looking for bashing and someone to malign the developer for no valid reason, you'll not find it in my work. What's good is good and bad is bad, I'll just deal with the facts. If someone wants to seek out negativity they can go to that pseudo-news website or the next door site, both seem to traffic in negativity.

To be honest, I do get a little bit (okay, maybe more) of pleasure out of beating the marketing department to the punch.

Other than easier access to the turnpike, i dont see the appeal of that area. Not even a lake or pond - just one small one. It couldnt be any further from Villages amenities either. Unless they think the folks putting a couple of million into a home wont want to associate with the great unwashed.
Along side the entrance are some sketchy looking houses. A security system should be the first investment after purchase.

When we were down there a few weeks ago buying a house we rode the cart by sawgrass grove a few times. I kept telling the wife, “we should just park here on these new plants next to Megisson. Why bother riding around to the lot.” Lol.

Anyhow, love the videos and while I won’t be a permanent resident for a few years, I’ll certainly buy you a beer or 3 when we visit.

Privacy, preserve sites, large lots. Once Eastport is done they (and us in lake Denham and dabney) will have lots of cool stuff nearby. Plus we can visit uncle Gino in the prison.

Just remember, the prison is not golf cart accessible.

Thanks, and I’m going to hold you to those beers.
