Fenny is a new area of the Villages, so I wonder why there are those that chose to sell after only owning them a very short time? I've heard rumors, but I am not going to spread rumors. Any one know for sure why homes are being sold down there after only living in them two years?

I'd be curious too on an answer to your question.

Please tell us what you heard. I personally have not heard any rumors about "homes are being sold down there after only living in them for two years.". People will sell a home in The Villages after two years for a number of reasons;

Someone died.
They want a bigger garage, view, bigger, smaller house etc.
They decided to move back north because of someone's illness, a grandchild has entered the family, they don't like the heat.

I turn to Vintageogauge who lives in Fenney and many other posters who live there to quell this rumor that I am skeptical about.

Byte 1. I read many of your posts just now and agree with them so I really REALLY wonder what rumor you heard. You sound like such a reasonable person who I would listen carefully to. Please tell us the rumor you heard so that it can be addressed.

Only because this has occurred in EVERY new village. It is NOT unique to Fenney.

I agree with the reasons given by Gracie, plus there are many more common reasons. There is at least one thread on TOTV where this was asked and the reasons are numerous and logical - not suspicious, based on a rumor.

Sorry about your experience with the rental company. Have you contacted Seniors vs. Crime?

Waste of time. Contact Vinny @ 718-342-2235. He’ll know what to do with a guaranteed result.

Seniors vs. crime can't help. Local police can't help. All say it's a civil matter. However the FL state Attorney General's office is currently conducting an investigation into them. So hopefully they'll do something about the company.

Great mortgage broker
 

Anyone seeking a great mortgage broker who will ensure a good rate and fees i highly recommend John Misky of Franklin (suburb of Nashville) Synergy at 615-310-2687. He covers FL and has closed for me in the villages.

We have been coming to TV since 07, bought first house in 2010. Our first house in Pennacamp we were the first house to close on our street. In less than a year 4 homes went up for sale, one had a death, one had to go north to take care of aging parent, one could not live without new grand baby, and last was garage too small.

Next village, Fernandina, same reason for sale within a year, except 3 were death of spouse, and need comfort of family in another state. So what ever rumor you heard, people move for many reasons, Gracie is right. Those who have been here awhile have been saddened by those who have to move.

We are on our third home, and just to make a better rumor for you, we may be buying our fourth home. So we may surpass the people move 2.9 times in TV. Our oldest is looking down in Fenney. They want the quiet and does not matter if they are connected. They know how to drive, and own a car.

We've built & sold about 8 homes & you're right, sell your home before you buy another one. It will ease your mind, otherwise you're always thinking about the one you're trying to sell. It's not like you won't find a home to buy here in the Villages! The Villages have a good thing going for them. You're stuck with 2 homes not them!

The reason I know that some homes have sold in Fenney within two years is because it is easy to compare the homes listed with when they last sold. When I asked around, I was given people's "opinions" and I do not like to pass on "rumors" that may inadvertently cause damage to sales or someone moving into this great community. Forgive me for not passing on un-validated conjecture.

We ran into our realtor who said, you have to see this lot in Desoto. Purchased the lot in Desoto, went home to prep our home in Osceola Hills to sell. Told the Villages to go ahead and build hoping our house would sell quick. It sold in 6 days. We now have to rent for 2 months and put all our stuff in storage but hopefully it will be worth it.
