Dave , I want to say thank you again. I can't imagine how long it takes you to put together these very detailed presentations. As much as we would prefer new construction, I am starting to think areas between 466A and 44 may better for us. All the best!

We have been avid watchers of your show over the last year and a half. You guys have helped in our decision making. Thank You. We finally bit the bullet and purchased our cottage villa in the village of Hawkins An Anchor V. We closed on 4/13/22 and I'm in the process of retiring and should be there in late July. Can't wait. Once again thanks for all the info, between yourselves and the Florida Newcomers Jerry & Linda, you have made our purchase much more plausible and happy in our decision. Thanks Again

Good news to share 😁 .After the closing on the sale of our R.I. home on 4/29 we departed for TV directly after and arrived at our patio villa rental on 5/2. Spent some time yesterday with our TV agent who took us over to Boaz & Levi villas in St John's to see an Avondale courtyard. villa with a golf cart garage that she thought we might be interested in. It was love st 1st sight, and to our good fortune our agent was able to get 1st hold on it for us. 😁 As I write this comment our agent is on her way over for us to sign the contract and hand over the deposit. I believe our closing date is 6/4. Nice we have the rental to 6/30 so we can get a few things done in the villa before moving in. Needless to say we love our villa especially the private plot it is on and grinning from ear to ear.

@DebbieDeLuna 2 жыл бұрын

You still gotta do the lottery system to get one. I’ve heard it’s not easy to get one with so many people trying whenever they’re released. And you gotta trust your Villages agent to be on top of it as soon as they’re released.

@ExploringTheVillagesFlorida 2 жыл бұрын

I did forget the motocross track. It is pretty far from the homes since the small track is inside the structure and the large track well behind the structure. I'll need to go over there and listen to see if it can be heard. Pretty sure it won't be heard at any of the Veranda homes. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for creating this video. It helps so much and the drone shots cover so much! How did you find out the numbers of the verandas and models? I will be down in a week and I would like to know so I could find a few models I like and where they are located so we can hopefully get a hold on one soon! Is that possible? Please share if you are able!

@ExploringTheVillagesFlorida 2 жыл бұрын

I search through through the Wildwood board of supervisors minutes for some of the information and then search building permits. Those need to be cross referenced with the layouts approved by the Board. Bonds are listed on the Community Development District Website. The process is cumbersome, but I have done it enough I can find things fairly quickly. Thanks for watching!

We were recently at The Villages for a lifestyle visit. You seem to have or at least share more advanced information than the realtors did. Can you please advise how you have so much detailed information about what floor plans are scheduled to be built where?

@ExploringTheVillagesFlorida 2 жыл бұрын

Research..... Board of supervisor minutes, searching building permits, digging through the Community Development district site. It gets easier after some practice. I agree.... The sales agents don't typically dig that deep. They are concentrating on the homes coming up for sale in the very near future since they are typically dealing with people close to being ready to move. I am trying to look as far out as possible for those just starting their research. Thanks for watching!

I was curious about this myself. I was talking with a woman today who just bought a new courtyard villa in Hammock at Fenney with a bond of only $17K. She’s on a view lot too. I’m not sure the Verandas will be our choice anymore with the bond so high. Her village is 3 miles from the turnpike. Heavenly! I hope we get that lucky when we buy. Thanks for this great video. Unfortunately, they’re all too close to the turnpike for us.

@ExploringTheVillagesFlorida 2 жыл бұрын

We first did a video of Courtyard Villas that was VERY popular, this is the Veranda video we made because of multiple requests for the information. We hope to do patio Villas eventually. All of these types of home areas are grouped together in areas so it make for a simpler video to film. Designer homes are just as popular, but they are spread everywhere, so we haven't yet come up with a easy method to present those sections without making a confusing video. But we are working on all types of video. Thanks for watching!

Hi Mark. Yes you can be a resident at age 40. Keep in mind you will not be able to have children under 19 living in the home. The federal law requires 55 plus communities to allow up to 20% of the residents to be under age 55. Brenda and I were in our low 50s when we moved here. Talk to your sales representative about how close The Villages is to the 20% cap, but I don’t think they have every been very close to hitting that cap.
