The PGT windows are horrible. So are the Wellborn cabinets. The trimwork (baseboards and doorframe) in most of the houses is subpar. The showers are barely built to code and do not use waterproof barriers like Kerdi board. Many of the tile installations are subpar. All of these combined make for a cheap looking finished house.

Never EVER look at a model home and buy. Insist on touring homes in progress so you can see the differences in quality and detail-not equal to model.

They need to rename The Villages to Village North, Village Central, and Village South. From 441 to Lake Denham is about 30 miles. To call it all The Villages is not practical.
@RealtorZachWatson3 ай бұрын
Agreed! Soon I will be doing a series that covers the different areas. The Villages themselves and a lot of people refer to the different areas by the relative square. Spanish springs, lake sumter, brownwood, eastport, respectively. That is how I will explain it in my video as well.

There are a lot of part time flippers here. Buy a new house for attractive price, do some nice upgrades inside and out, and sell it for $100,000+ 2 years later, and do it all over again. Almost like a hobby. 2 flips in my street alone.

Most are bone ugly. The weird paint on the inside walls. No trim around windows. cheap metal racks in closets. Bifold doors, sliding glass doors. Vinyl garbage on floors. Heck a whole lot have laminate countertops. But yea its a lifestyle. Yea right. NEVER!

Hi thank you so much for this valuable info. I went to Sumter County tax estimator and seems like taxes should be calculated a little less than 1% of the purchase price. My question is, do I add the fire, bond, etc. to that result?
@RealtorZachWatson4 ай бұрын
Hello, yes you would have to add any non Ad-valorem taxes(bond assessment, maintenance assessment and fire assessment) to what the tax estimator provides.

Where is the discussion for where the money goes? What county services are provided to Villagers? What amounts go to the state? Who has their hand in the cookie jar? Are retirees with no kids getting hosed with high taxes and bond payments that pay for county infrastructure?

Do the estimator websites include the bonds or just the taxes?

Just taxes. If you want bond information about a specific property I would suggest asking a realtor or call the finance department of the villages and give them the address.

Well informed video! I appreciate the thought out presentation. Lots of good view points. The down side of this video? You have a fantastic microphone, and it picks up every time you hit the desk with your hand for emphasis. Listening to this video with headphones is difficult because of that.

My last home had a walled in back yard and we loved it for 20 years. I'm now Widowed and recently moved into a home with an open back yard and it's SOOOO refreshing to see and be part of life again! I'll never wall myself off from life again!! Something to give consideration to, folks!
@billredding2000Ай бұрын
IIRC, people looking for "walled" homes (fences) in The Villages often do so because they have dogs, so they want a "confined" back yard to keep them in day/night. If the dogs are incessant barkers, that'd drive me nuts as those homes are SO close together you'd definitely hear a neighbor's dog(s). So for me (being single) -- even though one of those smaller homes woudl be ideal size-wise for my needs, it's one reason I'd prefer a home in one of the Villages that don't have walls/fences, and so neighbors really can't leave dogs out in the backyard for hours on end. -- BR

If someone is moving from up north, they could donate most of their winter clothes as most of it is not needed in Central Florida. I have lived in the Midwest all of my life and if I do move to Florida, 50% of my wardrobe would not be coming with, so I would need less closet space. Actually even an 1,100 square foot patio villa is slightly larger than the townhouse I have lived in for 26 years...another reason to move to The Villages.

I stumbled on to this video with "KZbin suggested for you." Not a hater. We have a waterfront home on Boca Ciega Bay in St Pete Beach. The Stepford Wives lifestyle has no appeal to us, especially with captured customer amenity fees, and lack of self-governance. That said, The Villages are a great alternative for folks who cannot afford coastal waterfront.

Great video! I'll be looking in The Villages in two years and follow it closely. I like homes between Lake Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs. I know some of those are Lake County and others Sumter. Would all the Lake County homes be listed with Lady Lake as the city (while looking at the address in Zillow), while the others in Sumter say The Villages as the city. Or is there some overlap? I definitely want to stay in the cheapest tax rate if possible. Thanks!
@RealtorZachWatson5 ай бұрын
Up by Spanish springs there is a little overlap. If you scroll to the bottom of a listing on Zillow it will say lake county or Sumter county. 👍🏻👍🏻
