$449,000

The area directly behind is a canal/preserve. The builder made two identical homes and this lot was the first to sell. $710k is for this home As-Is, but is on a standard lot backing up to another home. I hope that helps clarify things.

For a single story home in the area, a 5/4 is uncommon. If you need more rooms, I know of a 6-7 bedroom home available to build as well with No HOA.

Hello, this house is currently for sale for $710,000.

Yes you can start building your pool immediately after closing and it would be ready this year.

Those are for circulation and to relieve pressure in the rooms. If you’ve ever noticed in some older homes when the AC kicks on and slams the door shut, a pass through vent like this or a jumpy vent (supply and return on either side of the door) helps with air flow. Not usually any noisier, that depends more on solid core vs hollow core doors.

For a new home community, the HOA will just ask for initial proof of ownership/residency from the owners who are at least 55. They'll ask who else is living with them so they can get access to the gate and amenities. But if it's used as a second home, then the family member who is under 55 is able to stay at the property provided they have no children under the age of 19 living with them. For older 55+ communities they often have interviews prior to approval, so if the owner doesn't intend on using the home themselves that would raise some red flags.

@interesting. Now let’s say they wish to transfer ownership of the home to the person under 55. Does the community need to be notified? And what happens if they don’t notify the community? Or is there some step in the signing process that prevents this?

Anytime a transfer of ownership occurs the community has to know, the transfer can't take place without an estoppel from the HOA/COA. And while some communities say they allow up to 80% of their residents to be under the age of 55 (but over 19), most usually require at least one owner/resident be of age.

@@ragonzalezhomes another interesting question. Let’s say someone’s parents own a home in a 55+. Those parents pass and the home is given to their child who is under 55 in their will. What happens then? Are they not allowed to keep it anymore and forced to sell?

I’ll be posting the other models that they build here on the channel.

1.4-1.6 Million 👍

I put the pricing information in the description as it can vary, but currently this model ranges between $1.4-1.6M.

Since it’s new construction, insurance is much lower under $2k/year and since it’s a simple gated community the HOA will stay lower around $200/month compared to these condo buildings and golf communities with more grounds/buildings to maintain.

Right now there are multiple for sale for ~$450k

Thank you for your continual support Eren!

I've never visited there

@ragonzalezhomes you have to it's beautiful city great location and amazing beaches.

It’s all about location/upgrades. For example for the same price I can get you a brand new 4 bedroom that’s 2100 SqFt with No HOA still in Port St Lucie. All depends on what you’re looking for and what you need.

Thank you for watching, Merry Christmas!

The in law suite likely doesn't qualify for Section 8 as it's not a fully independent unit like a duplex would be for example. There is a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen and they are on the same electric/water meter as the main house. There is also very limited Section 8 properties in Port St Lucie in general, with most being apartments off US1 or in Fort Pierce.

Thank you!

One would wall off the door leading into the main house so both spaces are more private. Renting it out is more of a secondary idea, the main point of the home is for one multigenerational family to live in together.

Anything North of Vero, then you start getting closer to Melbourne/Orlando areas.

I absolutely love Boca, and I'm sure over the last 20 years since you bought that your home would now easily sell for close to, if not just over $1M. You're exactly right, people will pay for it so the demand is there. Taxes are a little higher than your estimate - closer to $10k/year but insurance for a new construction is under $2k/year so carrying costs work out similarly.

I've honestly never linked the two as social security eligibility starts 10 years later on; however I don't believe communities would be inclined to increase the age and shrink their buyer pool unless the government mandates through changing HOPA. I've always perceived that 55+ benchmark being where people would be 'empty nesters' and no longer have school aged children, but people have children later in life or college age children living with them so it's not one size fits all.

In Port St Lucie, the property appraiser and builders say to estimate 2% of the purchase price before exemptions - so plan for $8,000/year.

Those rain shower heads aren’t too commonly offered with a lot of other builders

Thank you for watching!

@ragonzalezhomes ❤😊 You're Welcome

This house was for sale for $550k

West Port St Lucie

Thanks for watching!

The houses that I showcase and can help people buy and build are in Southeast Florida, which is 2 hours from Orlando.

Because you can build this home on any Non HOA lot you buy/own in Jupiter Farms, Loxahatchee, Palm City/Stuart on larger 1+ acre lots, or even Port St Lucie on 1/4-1/3 acre lots. Generally, all of these places are 10-15 minutes from one of the major highways.
