Hi Dirk - I'm not going to be the best person to address Terra Ceia for a video. You're right, however, it is a hidden gem in the area. If you're considering it and it works for your commute/desired location, it'd be a strong location to settle and sit.

Thanks Melissa! Glad you enjoyed the area.

If you're an AP like me, 2 hours is too far!

With time and trust built through the process, they have the potential to develop well. Money does solve the schooling issues at times, so once property taxes have been collected for a while, I anticipate some improvements - just not in the near future outside of elementary schools.

It is to the North part of the focus area.

Edgetstone is in Palmetto, about a 20 minute drive from Lakewood Ranch. Not close.

Unfortunately, I'm only more proficient on the Macbook itself.

My pleasure!

I am due for an update!

Tropic Isles is generally a manufactured home community, and this is outside of my expertise. My best advise is to always drive around the neighborhood and talk to neighbors about their experiences before purchasing.

Omg, I feel the same way. I am trying to figure out where to live in the Tampa Bay Area and I can tell the signage is going to looked dated quickly. I am also not 100% sure if really be the next Lakewood ranch either based on the type of homes going up. But, I have never been, so I could be wrong.

I'm with you both. Honestly, I'm dissatisfied with the entirety of the Moccasin Wallow developments' focuses. There's a "middle upper class" target market that has been completely left out of consideration, probably, maayyyyyybbbbeeeee except by West Bay. Biscayne homes will be building in Seaire, and I have high hopes they'll bring a great product. However, they have a small carve out of lots in the master plan.

We homeschool now and my children have taken over my recording space!

I prefer the Neal product to WestBay (some may disagree with me), but my beef with Neal is that they always go by the power lines. It's how he gets the development costs down. I'm particular about the lines, so it would be a dealbreaker for me. I have not received massive complaints about the David Weekley product. They have one of my favorite layouts, that this area needs more of.

@@soldbyrise we went with David Weekly. We also did not like the Neal power lines section by wild leaf, and many of the lots over there did not have space for even a small pool. We only wanted single story home. Thanks

Palm-awesome!

Glad it was helpful!

Anything in specific you'd like me to do?

@@soldbyriseanother land development video on Parrish? Me and the wife really enjoy those. Especially if you have more news on a commercial level as we are desperately waiting for more of it to come out here. (We are in the Crosswind communities off 62)

@@DenseCloudz Ok I’ll put something together. I really need to redo my Parrish/North River one since it’s out of date now anyway. Thanks for your input!

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Definitely look at Parrish. Keep in mind the further east you go, the harder it will be to get to 75/275 in the morning so you can make your commute. The extra ~15 minutes has to be worth the cost for you.

Hey you got it. I seriously think this is my most undervalued video lol.

This has very much been on my mind. I need to redo my Lakewood Ranch one for sure.

Great question. There is one community in the Cortez area of the beaches called Hunters Point that touts being a net zero community. It comes with a fair price tag as you'd imagine. As far as upcoming communities...no. Nerd response: If you look at most functions, the ROI isn't quite there (particularly for commercially-sold materials), but you'll see the x and y axes for a lot of "green" materials in regard to their cost/efficiency cross around 2027 (given the push to mine the materials to create lithium battery purposes doesn't get halted by human rights activists and/or war with China). There have been a significant amount of developer-minded folks who have moved to the area and want to do business. Right now, the issue is finding land that will allow for breakeven with cheaper, traditional materials. Until efficiency and balance of land cost returns (along with stronger established networks), the forward-thinking / dreamer general contractor just can't hit the numbers they need to without taking a loss. As a result, highly green-focused/sustainable communities are limited to the wealthy (similar to electric vehicles) unless building codes were highly deregulated allowing for building styles such as what companies like earthship are designing. I'd love to see prototype communities created. I think they'd perform well.

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! I trained at a local hotel here in Sarasota, FL and it was important to figure out which shifts were the good ones. The hard thing was the ebbs and flows. I worked at restaurants later on, and it was a lot easier. Some people eat at 5 and some eat at 7, so it's not like this huge checkout at 11 scenario where people are complaining their car hasn't been pulled up yet.

Hey @Modanderer, happy to have a conversation about it with you and help you navigate it. Just reach out to my cell (941)224-9005.

Appreciate it. Still feel the same way too!
