Hi Jack, Sorry to hear that. You’d think that they would provide a code for interested parties to get through the gate.

Not by much but they should be. Honestly with the economic uncertainty and inventory on the rise one would have to have their head examined to buy today Lower rates will bring in buyers but there is also a lot of pent up wannabe sellers who are waiting for lower rates to justify the tighter spread between their low mortgage rate and the market rate. Also a lot of shadow inventory in the Ranch where owners are having a hard time justifying the higher costs of ownership for a property that is vacant for a good part of the year. Rents are dropping which for many makes more sense even for people who can pay cash since the additional unavoidable costs of ownership outside of a mortgage has risen almost to the point of the cost of rent considering that the cash saved by not paying cash for a home can be invested for additional appreciation.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, Lakewood Ranch is still attractive. In 55+ communities in LWR home prices have remained stable. I just listed & sold a home in Del Webb. I sold it in 2 days, with multiple offers, and the buyer paid over the list price.

Thank you for this video, Sandy. You’re very knowledgeable. Question please: After full build out in a Del Webb community, who “runs the place”, so to speak? Is the governance turned back to the homeowners to elect an HOA Board made up of residents, who then have unilateral decision-making about costs, upgrades, or even changing the management company (eg moving away from Del Webb as manager)? If the answer is that Del Webb continues to manage, isn’t it a little like “the fox guarding the henhouse”; they’re no longer profiting from selling homes, so their fee becomes everything to them, and the homeowners are locked in to anything Del Webb wishes to charge?
@SandyWilliamsRealEstate7 ай бұрын
Hi, Good Question! Here in Florida, once the builder is required to turn the development over to the owners. The homeowners then decide if they want to manage it themselves or hire a professional management company. Even if the HOA is professionally managed, a HOA board will be in place and comprised of homeowners. What I have normally seen is that the developer has subsidized the running of the development, and when handed over, there is usually a deficit that needs to be made up by the owners.
@Burps___7 ай бұрын
thank you for that reply, Sandy. I definitely see what you mean about the deficit, as the developer kept the monthly fee rates artificially low to sell units. Good point there! I watched another of your videos when you pointed out the expense of the on-site restaurant and how the HOA must decide if they wish to keep and fund this restaurant. What a boondoggle! Thank you so much. @@SandyWilliamsRealEstate

Thanks Sandy. We asked the same question at a Del Webb community about college aged kids. We were told if listed as permanent residents on the house since over the age of 19, there are no restrictions about time spent since it is their home, that they are not visitors but permanent residents. Did I understand this correctly?
@SandyWilliamsRealEstate10 ай бұрын
Most Del Webb communities allow college age young adults over the age of 19 to be residents ( long term). However they cannot own or be on the deed. Ask for a copy of the regulations to be sure that is the case for that particular location.

Thanks! We just finished our home there and closed on it this past week. Even though I have been selling real estate for over 20yrs, I learned quite a bit during the process. Some things I would have done differently, and others I wished I would have never done at all. If you want the scoop on the construction and how I actually got more $$ from the mortgage co Pulte recommends, I'd be happy to share it with you.
