Dabney New Homes in the Villages Florida 

In the Villages you pay a district annually fee to keep up the area so that is on top of the bond for developing the area. I think that is why it is talked about so much. But no HOA! Thanks for watching Mark.

Not sure I understand your question. Let me answer it this way giving you the link to the CCD district maps - www.districtgov.org/yourdistrict/districtMapIndex.aspx then on the same website www.districtgov.org has the bonds schedules for each CCD. You will see the listings. The harder part is finding the bond code for the house you are looking at. Good luck.

You have been in the deep freeze for a few days. Florida is light jackets.

These house truly are not worth what they’re asking,oh and that bond,no thanks!!

can be either but no negotiating closing dates, so be prepared. They have written in the contract a daily penalty to go beyond their closing date.

Hi Kimberly, I did find a story online in 2020 that they expanded the treatment plant in 2021 to handle more waste but couldn’t find anything new. If you look at google maps it is set back off from the road across from the exit of Meggison & 470. I haven’t smelled any odors the few times I have been down there in my golf cart.

Thanks for watching!

I agree that I should go over bonds a little more. I do have a video on whether you should pay off the bond but that was at the much lower interest rate when I purchased.

@@GaryAbbott Yes, paying off the bond would be an interesting discussion topic, but not one with a definitive answer. I think it really will depend on what the trend is in the Villages as a whole. I would expect over time buying a new or resale home in the Villages, one would expect some balance remaining on the bond. I live in Cali and we have a similar bond (aka Mello Roos). The trend here is to not pay it off and pass it along when you sell. Keeping in mind these are not +55 communities so people are living here with growing kids so they are staying in one place for 10-15 years. I think it would be nice to see the overall housing market increase for the pre-bond and bonded new homes. The explanation the developers give is they are itemizing the costs to separate the true home cost from the infrastructure costs. Its like the airlines where the ticket used to include luggage but now luggage is separate.

That makes sense.

You're welcome!

Wow! I just looked on the web. It’s nice to see the discounts on the web. I think they know they have to move those homes before they can release south of the turnpike.

I should have pointed out the interest costs and administrative costs are add up to more than the bond amount over 30 years.

Just curious! What do you mean by more amenities?

Probably wrong choice of words. I've heard there still needs to be more restaurants, shopping, golf courses and such so people don't have to travel up north for activities.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree the area is lacking access to golf courses and shopping compared to the North. It will take a good four years before all the golf courses and the new Eastport are developed with shops etc over the turnpike. Thanks for watching.
