Does TV make you get a new roof every so may years or is that a thing the actual insurances mandate? Heard need a new one every 10 years but not sure if that’s via TV or the home owners insurance company? Also why does the sewer cost vary every month🤔

So there is a new ruling on that. If it is 15 years or older you might have to. They will have roof expert come out to determine. That is done through insurance though, not the villages itself! If you have any other questions feel free to reach out anytime at (352) 390-4800

Hey there! North of 466, most of bonds are paid off. Checking the bond status on The Villages bond site is a great tip for prospective buyers. Feel free to call me anytime at 352-390-4800 and I’ll happily help answer any other questions!

I think we are actually up to 115 pools and almost 300 pickleball courts and almost 800 holes of golf!! And with the Eastport area and south- that will add dozens and dozens of pickleball courts and probably a couple hundred holes of golf and at least a dozen more pools. I love that we keep growing. It ensures the Developer stays committed to our AWESOME community and adds endless amenities and more golf cart and walking and biking adventures!!! We live in and LOVE The Village of FENNEY!!

You keep paying fees, special assessments, taxes, bonds, all for the pleasure of standing in line to play pickle ball. You have difficulty getting a tee time esp. during high season. Grass on the courses are brown. Many people go over the speed limit in their carts and it is down right dangerous. So these are just some of the things that make The Villages stand out.

...that's okay rkoleda...you're clearly not ready for The Villages -- yet. But when you grow up and get older -- and IF you get wiser (sadly, many don't though) -- you MIGHT be. ;-) In my case I'm in West TX presently (for 2 more years as I financially prepare to buy a home) but am looking to move back to CO (Springs)...that is, IF the housing market there -- & mortgage interest rates -- become more affordable. Whatever, The Villages is Plan B. I'm even researching golf-cars -- just in case. :-) -- BR

Married couples socialize with other married couples. The old widows socialize with other old widows. Single men are persona non grata. Also, "friendly" does not mean "nice." People smile and wave, but would not piss on you if you were on fire.

Does that mean if the bond isn't paid on a house, the listing price is increased by the unpaid bond value? Or, is the listing price lower because the bond still has to be paid (i.e., the bond value is not part of the listing price), making the buyer have to budget more for costs?
@Beachtrader0007
@Beachtrader0007 5 ай бұрын
The listing price is unaffected either way. If there is a bond you have to add it in yourself. They will resist you adding it back in out loud every time they say the price. They would say the price of a house and then they would say it has a bond amount of X..And I would say. so the real price is X. we did this on every single property. I kept saying im looking at total cost of ownership. Never changed their spiel for a second.....but, I do like it and am moving there in june

OK Karen great intro video on the villages, and the different shops, and entertainment available there. After watching many video's on the villages, and hearing dozens of options good and bad. I have a question maybe several. I'm 66 in 6 months I get my SS around 2400.00 per month. Plus I'm in great financial condition. If I sell my townhouse in Raleigh, NC in the next 4 to 6 months it would sell fast. I own Mr. Fix-All Home & Garden Inc. with 40 years of residential, and commercial repair experience. Question: Have you heard of problems from the full time residents, that they can not find a good handyman to work on their homes, or business having the same problem? I maybe wanting to move to the villages but would still love work.
