My retired police officer/private detective - mother-in-law lived in The Villages for 20 years or more until she couldn't get around so well. My dear husband, Jeffrey, and I, of course, were in The Villages last month for a week. We loved it there and were going to move there. We live in a New Jersey Shore retirement community presently. However, my husband has epilepsy which is very effected by strobe lights and bright Sunlight flickering through the trees as we ride in a car. He was not doing well down there during our visit and we had to call his epileptologist doctor up in Marlborough, New Jersey. He recommended that we try to stay out of the bright Sunlight. We, sadly, can't move there. We love it there but I can't take the risk. He wares sunglasses 🕶 😎 but that's not enough. We listen to you guys often. Thank you for your candid and honest videos. New Hampshire is one of my favorite places, but not my husband's favorite.

We used to live in Fernandina Beach, FL. (that would make a fun day/weekend trip for you) and we would kayak on a local creek. One day, my husband and I were kayaking and I saw 2 gator eyes staring at me up ahead, then it ducked into the water. A couple of minutes later, I was paddling over something really bumpy but I could not see anything. I yelled for my husband and he just yelled back, "keep paddling!" I paddled right to the dock and jumped out of the kayak. I never kayaked again in Florida. Moved to GA and picked up kayaking again. No gators here but we do have the occasional water moccasin snake! Now my husband is wanting to move to The Villages since we have friends that live there. Maybe we will see you if and when we get there! Have a wonderful week!

Prices are certainly increasing briskly in The Villages. A new patio villa that sold in the $180'a last fall is now selling for $210K. That is with a carport, no lanai and no walk in closet in the master bedroom. Plus the bond on a new patio villa in Citus Grove is $18K. This information was given to me by a Villages sales rep at N uoen house about 2 weeks ago when I visited The Villages.

Have to agree with your comment about choosing the lifestyle vs just a nice house. We're building in Connestee Falls outside of Brevard NC for just that reason. Connestee has something like 80 clubs and groups for residents - instant stuff to do and people to meet. We see nice houses everywhere, but a community with lots of activities that are interesting to many people is harder to find. (Add in 4 mild seasons, opportunities to volunteer & give back in the local area and the gorgeous Blue Ridge mountains and we were sold 🙂)

@IndianaRandy
@IndianaRandy 3 жыл бұрын
Experts agree that there is no bubble to burst. Real Estate pricing today is not like it was in 2007 that lead to the bubble bursting. Real Estate prices are expected to continue to rise. The pandemic has increased the number of Florida buyers because many people have learned they can work from home. They don't need to wait until they retire to enjoy The Villages. Many people are fed up with lock downs and want to live in an open state like Florida or Texas. 10,000 baby boomers are retiring Every Day! YTD, There have already been as many homes sold as ALL of last year. Demand is greater than supply. This is expected to continue for at least the next 18 months. Those waiting on the bubble to burst will likely be priced out of The Villages or need to find a community located outside The Villages. The time to buy, is NOW.

I met Dave (Dave and Brenda KZbin video folks) at The Savannah center on Wednesday for a Billy Joel tribute concert. My wife and I had a fantastic, terrific, enjoyable time and our sales contact was very knowledgeable, professional and very accommodating taking us around. We are 3 to 4 years away from buying BUT we saw a few that were very tempting. Enjoy your shows and what a place!!!!

After much consideration I’ve determined it wouldn’t be in my best interest to relocate to Florida. I’ve listened to a lot of realtors (these were not The Village realtors) on KZbin and have learned the following: 1) Insurance companies are getting more strict and refusing to insure roofs even if the roof is not currently leaking. In many cases a new roof is being required before an insurance company may insure the roof; 2) Cost of exterior maintenance of the house is expensive (painting); 3) Expect roofs to get half the life as normal due to extreme heat & storms; 4) Expect central air-conditioners to get half the normal life due to heavy use; 5) Additional insurance costs for sinkhole insurance; 6) Additional insurance costs for flood insurance; 7) Bond costs are common; 8) My auto insurance would be higher; 9) Real Estate taxes are much higher than my current state; and 9) Costs of groceries are reported as higher. Collectively these costs add up to be very expensive and fail to include the cost of the house and monthly recreation fees. I don’t pay income tax in my state. My current home is all brick so I don’t have to deal with the costs of exterior maintenance. I already have an inground pool. My only hobby is swimming. I don't play golf. To buy a comparable property in Florida would be cost prohibitive. As much as I think I would like Florida, the costs to live there makes it restrictive.

Cost of property has drastically increased which can and will effect seniors who are looking to move and retire.

And by meaning average I am still talking a millionaire.

My dreams of living in The Villages have been quashed by people paying these exorbitant prices for homes down there. Many not worth near that amount in my humble opinion. That’s not a sentence. I had my budget figured out putting 80% down on the home (down from paying 100% of purchase price) and, factoring in additional living expenses, I would be able to live comfortably. Not the case now. It does anger me somewhat, but I have a home without a mortgage and gorgeous flowers in my yard, family that comes to visit nearly nonstop in summer and fall. I’m very fortunate, but I did work long and hard my entire life. I live vicariously through KZbin.

@@Kathrynanne9 a well known fact as I myself have stated many times. I don’t think homes in The Villages will ever be upside down, but that’s why I’m staying put for the time being. I have more house than I need or want. However, I now hope to move up the shore and I can guarantee the mortgages on those homes will be upside down in a few years. Even though I would not carry a mortgage, I don’t want that.

@Dale Divine thank you Dale. I would be cutting it too close. With all the extra fees thrown in and the tax hike for a more expensive house I just wouldn’t feel comfortable.

Here's another thing my wife and I noticed driving our golfcart all around during our lifestyle visit. We saw sooooo many homes with pools, BUT never saw anybody using them. The clubs have pools outside that you have access to, and most are not really busy...... may not need to spend money on a pool if you are not planning on using it more than say 3-4 times a week.

Thinking back to the COVID lockdown, only those with pools could go to the pool. Its just a lot easier to jump in your own pool first thing in the morning. We have both, but we can just jump in our pool where going to the community center takes an effort.

Your section on flowers in the villages was super. I wanted more! Loved the background music. You guys always choose good background music for your clips. I got to say, you produce a high quality channel and you just get better every week. Geez, how's that for creative pressure!?

The prices of new homes went through the roof in the last 8 months. I watched it daily and saw a dramatic rise, the kind of increases that price you right out of the market. I think a lot of it was pent up demand driving up prices. I also think it will settle down and like most housing markets, it will ebb and flow. Florida home prices crash quickly, faster than the northeast.

Every Monday when I wake up, I remember it's Mailbag Monday, with a new video. Instead of saying "taping" you could say "recording." Works for me. Gizmo is a hoot. Love his silly jokes! As always, love your videos!!!

Good morning and cheers ☕️ to Gizmo - that is hilarious! For the folks Lifestyling this August - a small rechargeable fan for the golf cart is a real plus. Also, bike helmets will be provided in your villa so you can save some room to pack your fan 😉

Renters ARE residents. They just have to get the owner to sign over their pass.

It's $50 for 2 passes but the owner of the house has to get them for you. There are 2 different passes temporarily owner can use all amenities and guest can not use sports pools.

We had just brought our first dog (a dachshund) home when we discovered she also enjoyed coffee: Cream, no sugar. My husband was sitting in a low chair and had put his mug on the floor instead of on the coffee table and all of a sudden we heard this lapping! One of many firsts for new dachshund owners! Excellent Gizmo coverage today! We really look forward to your videos :}

I'll guess no on the gas scooters on golf cart paths. I hope I'm wrong so I can ride one when I get down there, but I bet not. Even the small ones(50cc) will go faster than 20mph. I don't see many scooters on the videos I watch but assume there must be some there.

I called the district.org office and spoke to them in the MMP section. They confirmed that gas scooters/mopeds are NOT allowed on any of the MMP. They are considered vehicles.
