The only place I would ever live in TVs is the Historic area, period! To me it’s the most scenic part of TVs and as crowded as the new areas south of 466, but we’re still looking.

[@Mushkiepotamus]

I live in and love ❤❤❤ Fenney- I think we have just the right amenities- I would HATE living near 441/27 area - all the traffic and hustle and bustle. I don’t want big box stores around the corner. I prefer nature and wildlife and no turnpike noise.

[@Robyncavallaro]

I love South of 44 too

[@douglasstone3813]

$prices are melting in The Villages like snowmen is a Florida summer. The Cufu is over and $prices are going back to 2019, no one is going to pay the Cufu premium you paid, that money is gone forever.

[@noreenn6976]

It has been cold. I'm ready for sun and warmth. Thanks for the update Robyn.

[@Robyncavallaro]

Any time!

[@bjs1130]

Robyn, I always enjoy your updates. Great Factual Information! Isn't Perceived Value an amazing thing?? One person says Wow, what a dump for $400K....next person puts in a cash offer at asking! Your knowledge about ALL the Areas is what separates you!! Talk again soon!

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thanks for sharing

[@beingkitschroeder2507]

It can be hard when sellers want what they want, regardless of the CMA.

[@HamRadioLiveShow]

Hi Robyn, nice video. Left you a call. My wife & I have some questions about possibly moving to The Villages or Oahu. The Villages is of course,is more affordable. But we have some questions valid for our family. We especially wonder if there are homes available there that have “fenced backyards.” we have for small dogs and we aren’t going to let go of any of them. Lol. They are our babies. Thanks for the videos and the time you take to make them. As a content creator myself, I understand the challenges of making quality videos. Keep up the great work, Larry

[@leezap]

That's wild with using dog to smell termites. What a great idea!

[@Wawalsh1234]

You are the best Robyn, thanks for these great videos.

[@Robyncavallaro]

I appreciate the support.

[@vrodkris]

Great news supply vs demand will drop prices …_

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thanks for watching

[@jeanengel6552]

My brother has a new home in the chitty-chatty village and his taxes were around $7400 this year.

[@Robyncavallaro]

depends on the price of the home when you purchased it the bond in the CDD every home is going to be different

[@mialorenzen3538]

Great info! Hope it warms up! 😊😊🎉🎉

[@Robyncavallaro]

Me too

[@user-vy4ui5pm1z]

Interested in the sink hole site information.

[@jTrent.25]

👏🎬 Robyn, I just watched my first video of yours, and I'm truly impressed! Your expertise, insights, and engaging personality shine through in your presentation. I look forward to subscribing to your newsletter and following your valuable content. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Robyncavallaro]

Welcome aboard! And thank you

[@Larry_Hatch]

I feel like the more I learn about our country’s low income people, my anger grows.imagine lnvestlng $1,5OO and receiving $8,3OO proflts in 5 days.😇 Thank you Ms Peggy Shawn, the lady you recommended here sometime ago.🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@spatton55]

Talk more about home insurance …. it’s my understanding that everyone is leaving/selling bc it’s almost impossible to get home insurance, or if you can get it, but it’s outrageously expensive.

[@jcogs9440]

Insurance is outrageous for both car and homeowners - off the charts premiums. It’s the unheard crisis. The insurance industry are opportunists in Florida - outright thieves.

[@kjisnot]

It depends. Homes built before 2001 generally do not have hurricane straps on the rafters and insurance will cost more. Some companies will not insure them. There was a building code change in 2001 that finally required those. Then there is the roofing issue. Typical roofing around 15 years old will probably need to be replaced before you can get coverage. Our 2005 home with 16 year old architectural shingles was able to get coverage only after an inspection was done for about $200. I don't mean the usual inspection prior to buying a house, the insurance company specified who they wanted me to use. The roof was estimated to be good another 5-10 years so I expect to hear form them again after 5 years for another inspection or demanding me to put on a new roof. My insurance on a 1600sf home is $2200 a year. I think that's pretty reasonable. Most homes north of 466 were built before 2000 but there are many built later. Some people will love a particular house or location and don't have any problem with the extra costs. We're all different. Now what you may hear screams about is insurance rates close to the coasts. Those are a lot higher risk for storms and they do pay more.

[@Pennaman-nn6ej]

Thanks for the info. Please send me the link on sink holes. Would appreciate it.

[@Robyncavallaro]

I think everyone leaving over insurance may be a bit of an exaggeration. Living on the coast will be very costly. The interior parts of the state are much more affordable.

[@user-bn1iv4wm7i]

I am interested in the 1 bed 1 bath. Where is it?

[@Robyncavallaro]

Sold months ago. Send me your contact information and I will set up a search for you

[@beckyforbis4858]

Robyn I absolutely adore you! But seriously, buying a home in Florida is starting to scare the daylights out of me. I’m trying hard not to be, but I’m very concerned.

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thaks for the kind comments. Buying a home anywhere can be scary. You need a good REALTOR on your side!! I may know one ;)

[@beckyforbis4858]

@@Robyncavallaro Of course the first call goes to you 🥰

[@PamelaW-li9rg]

Go to the Pacific Northwest & you'll really be scared. To me, it's inexpensive to live here in The Villages. Cost of homes, property taxes, etc is a bargain compared to where I'm originally from.

[@Robyncavallaro]

Interesting 🎉thanks for sharing

[@bogmonster100]

Robyn, have you seen agents doing things like this? 2025 castano place the villages fl. Clearly in Spanish springs but they have pictures of Eisenhower rec center trying to make people think it is near Brownwood

[@Robyncavallaro]

I find that Realtors who do not do business here on a regular basis always use photos of the obvious things buyer's already know about the community...ie rec center, town square photos etc. I think in this instance its they do not know Eishenhower Rec Center is over 5 miles from the home.

[@noreenn6976]

Do you know how much the $100K auction sold for?

[@Robyncavallaro]

That is a weird one. They listed another a few weeks ago. Once the "auction" time was up they listed it on the market.

[@christheflex3184]

I still give Robyn 2 Yum's up...😁oop's two thumbs up :)

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thanks

[@sharonscain7673]

Which county is the best to live in

[@Robyncavallaro]

Hard questions to answer, call me for my opinion but lowest tax rate is Sumter County

[@scottallemong5079]

I really like your vids and your attitude. Closing on a home in Dabney on 1/30/2024. I truly want to buy you modern plantation shutter for your window that you record on lol

[@Robyncavallaro]

I am not a fan of the Plantation Shutter, I may be one of the few. Thanks for watching and welcome to The Villages.

[@frankkeel8410]

How thick are the slab s in these villages home

[@Robyncavallaro]

I do not have any information about thickness of walls in new construction.

[@beckyforbis4858]

I’m been dreaming of moving to the Villages for the past two years. But lately the more I research and study it, the insurance and property taxes are really beginning to scare me.

[@Robyncavallaro]

If the home you purchase has a newer roof and you keep your search to Sumter County tax rate you will be fine.

[@hd4100]

I’ve been considering it too, but if you’ve ever been to the middle of Florida, in the summer, it’s like a tropical jungle with the humidity and bugs

[@Robyncavallaro]

@@hd4100 agreed but you have to think of our summer as winter in the north

[@leeandrassy6815]

How is your summer, winter in the north? Are you referring to north Australia? @@Robyncavallaro

[@beckyforbis4858]

@@hd4100 I’ve been there in the summer and that’s not my real concern, because we can always get away for a bit. It’s the overall expense, insurance crisis and the ridiculous property insurance costs that have me the most hesitant.

[@luisbrown1643]

Yeah the villages suck they just built a new area and it cut right across 470 and create a big problem in driving

[@tinalander2794]

I’m in Kissimmee right now and I’m freezing, next vacation is the end of February and I’m hoping to take a trip to the villages to check it out in person

[@Robyncavallaro]

let me know when you’re in town

[@tinalander2794]

I certainly will!

[@jimshoe402]

Daytona 500 9x's a Couple of times ICE in puddles..$$$$$$$$$

[@DarthWaffle.]

I only lasted until 2:20, no information just babbling.

[@Robyncavallaro]

well, thankfully, you could hit the button and watch the rest of the video

[@wotan5665]

If you only watched until 2:20, how do you know that the rest was babbling ?

[@leezap]

lol. Maybe it's babbling to you but not for other people. Robyn is pleasant to listen to compared to many youtubers.

[@Satjr35031]

Robyn let’s take your one bed one bath probably 1000sq Ft $273.000 Do the math

[@Robyncavallaro]

Not sure what you are getting at here? The price per sq ft does not matter if you love the home.

[@Satjr35031]

You talked about homes averaged $256 a square ft but seem to question that I gave you an example of that one bed one bath averaged $273 square foot

[@jimshoe402]

Good Job Honest..RE is Long Term encase u make a mistake.. 5 for 35 years. 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thanks for watching

[@leezap]

I don't have 35 years.

[@katec4096]

I know which home you are talking about. The owner was a snowbird who loved to keep in shape. She was a you tuber and showed her home with the fireplace and the exercise equipment. It was absolutely fantastic. Only problem was it was not a veranda or courtyard villa. I would have taken that home otherwise. 🥲

[@Robyncavallaro]

Great home!

[@Robyncavallaro]

Are you speaking about the home with the really nice backyard or the one bedroom one bath I spoke of

[@Robyncavallaro]
