The Villages - Dabney Homes Just Sitting.

[@BradInStLouis]

Bonds are much lower in Dabney compared to Moultrie Creek. Look at Google Maps of Middleton and Moultrie Creek before construction. Notice all the swampland there. Doesn’t make sense why these aren’t selling.

[@lordhosk]

Most of the homes he is rolling past are in the 400K range ~1700 Sqft plus $200 a month in community fees and they are age restricted to 55+

[@nesttesters1336]

Plus the bond cost

[@user-es8yz6mk5t]

I’d like an Opal or Ruby, but price is still too high…especially with the bond!

[@georgebuscay8511]

Can you tell me what a bond is because I hear the bond price on these videos and haven't a clue? I live on the west coast and own my home but maybe we have it here. I only paid my 20% down and the other fees. Thanks. Kathleen

[@jimrogers1500]

Dabney is pretty much brand new. The market is slower but they are still selling a lot in Dabney. High season for snowbirds to come to their homes, not high season for real estate. Keep in mind, the market elsewhere affects when retirees can move. They need to sell their homes up north before they can pay cash for their retirement home.

[@gilborealty]

@@jimrogers1500 selling up north is easy right now. Low inventory.

[@JB-mo8rs]

No question the HOA fees are going to be expansive and by the looks of it, NO parking allowed on the street.

[@dibari22]

There is no HOA. Street parking is allowed.

[@richardtaylor7485]

Those streets must be the minimum width allowed and no sidewalk eventually adding up to produce room for another street to build houses on.

[@michaelpriest]

No ones migrating to Florida anymore

[@jimrogers1500]

Yeah, except like 1000 people a day.

[@Cargo_Bay]

lol no, they are.

[@johnnymoran180]

Way too many fees and regulations in the Villages...

[@georgebuscay8511]

I agree. Kathleen

[@inwiththenew]

I'd consider moving to the villages when I get older... but I really don't like how those neighborhoods lack mature oak trees and shade.

[@dibari22]

Many of the older areas in the North part of The Villages have tons of huge mature trees. If the landscaping is a factor for you, you'd probably like things more the further north you go.

[@inwiththenew]

@dibari22 I've seen some of those neighborhoods, but they are still sparse. The only area I was impressed with was the golf cart trail with all the trees. I'm used to oak tree lined streets of CP, WP, etc.

Florida is over.

[@timmitchell1391]

The price of poker just went up

[@mariaresendiz6058]

I hate having neighbors. Cutter cookie houses are ugly. 🤨 So close my neighbor can smell my farts from dinner last night.

[@teresarodriguez5174]

Dabney is even far to the new East port actually some people are upset because they were told it will be easy access. And closer but alot wish they could sell and move to the newer section it would be nice if somebody goes from Dabney to the new section and see how long that takes

[@gilborealty]

We drove a golf cart from Lake Denham to Eastport and it was pretty far. We'll see how that develops.

[@dcdantes]

a real liminal feeling coming from that neighborhood, reminds me of Vivarium or the neighborhood from Edward Scissorhands

[@christigallup2175]

What are the bonds on these? To high possibly?

[@gilborealty]

Compared to previous builds? Yes, much higher. It’s probably why they are discounting the houses.

[@AndyClements]

I hope yhry are just sitting. I don't want a house thats moving around.

[@user-re9dc6pi3j]

Any idea the prices of some of these homes

[@gilborealty]

$250-$500k.

[@aaron92483]

Wouldn't move to FL if it were the last place on Earth and my life depended on it.

[@chrispridemore5562]

You don't like hurricanes and alcoholism?

[@aaron92483]

FL smells like formaldehyde, prune juice and stale cigarettes.

[@aaron92483]

Hmmm... this place is just five miles from Coleman Federal Penitentiary, one of the United States' largest prison complexes; housing more than 7,120 prisoners and employing 1,300 people on 1,600 acres. It is also Sumter County's largest employer.

[@chrispridemore5562]

@@aaron92483 The people that do live in that neighborhood are all escaped convicts. lol

[@aaron92483]

🤣🤣🤣

[@synpse]

ewwwhhh. the new villages. houses are all the same. it's all BIG10 college team golf cart cars.

[@dawnkendrick1320]

EdWard Scissorhands.....😅

[@Christech77]

I'm surprised squatters haven't taken over them.

[@jimrogers1500]

We are mostly conservative in the Villages. We mostly have protection and mostly wouldn't have a problem evicting squatters without police help.
