How much does it cost to live in Ocala Florida?

I was going over the budget anyway so I figured I would share our expenses. Everything is explained, from hair cuts to electric bills.
We put a lot into investing back into our businesses, but we can only do that by being aware of what we spend and we do that with a written budget.
Obviously, if you enjoy going out more than real estate investing, you can budget accordingly, lol! But that won't change how much it costs for your utility bills etc.
Even though my husband is extremely "thrifty" I am still a rather spoiled wife LOL.
We work hard, but we have everything we need and a lot of 'wants'.
Enjoy!

You absolutely do NOT have to apologize for having someone clean your house. You don't have to explain/apologize for that any more than you'd need to explain/apologize for having someone come mow your lawn. This is your and your family's life and you get to do what works for you. Thanks for the video!! 🤍

After searching for specific information about Ocala Florida, I found your video and must confess... I was Blown Away. Your bubbly personality, beautiful eyes and the level of information you provide made my stress disintegrate with each detail. After I called you and left a message to my surprise, it was answered within what felt like seconds. But the amount of information you gave each of my questions and what you shared have convinced me that you are the TURN KEY team to help build my future "generations empire". Your Company Name says it all! Looking forward to working with you and your team. Happy New Year!

Thank you and I can't wait to see myself living in beautiful Ocala,,,laz and Kelvin. Happy new year...

Could you please share how much you pay for home/flood insurance? I was listening for that and noticed that others asked the same question without a response. Could you at least give us a ballpark on how much we can expect to pay for insurance?

@GreatExpectationsRealty 2 месяца назад

Insurance is tricky because there are so many factors. Flood insurance adds about $800 to our policy annually. But we aren’t in a flood zone. That does not mean that it is what you will pay, because insurance has so many factors that it is incredibly individualized per family, area, house and coverage.

I'm trying to prepare to move up to Ocala. I will be living with my sister initially, but then will hopefully be moving to a place of my own. I've visited my sister in Ocala numerous times and I really love the area ... especially compared to where I presently live, which is in Dania Beach, just south of Ft. Lauderdale. It is SO crowded here, so expensive ... and I just can't do it anymore. I'm hoping to eventually get a small place with a nice little yard. I prefer the older homes and have seen plenty of cute ones there. I will be tuning into your channel for more information and inspiration!

Thank you for all the great information. We are planning a move to Ocala. Our daughter is a UF pharmacy student. 1 years left and then we move. Just been living very fugal in a house we are flipping. We sold our big house when our daughter graduated high school and went off to college. It’s a 7 year program to complete pharmacy. So we are just making sure she is off to a great career and then we will buy a home we want in an area we choose. We like Ocala because we have traveled to Florida about 2/3 times each year for many years. I even live in Florida years ago, Neptune beach. Sure appreciate all this information. Maybe one day we will be neighbors. Thank you ! Leslye

We are looking at the possibility of moving to Ocala or Kissimmee Florida with our 7 kids for the rest of our lives. We are from New York City and want a change for our children’s future. We need more information about Ocala like what types of jobs are there how are the schools. Your information helped us know about the living cost and we want to move within 1/2 a year to 1 year.

Hi, I am Ingrid Navarro with Great Expectations Realty. Our cost of living went up as well as the other parts of the country, but we still accessible. Home Insurance went up from 800 to 1800 for a house 1800 square f. and food went up ,too. Other than that just the increase all Americans have suffer with this inflation. Of course, housing had a huge increment in pricing. But that affected all USA.

Expenses for well and septic can add up including septic cleanings, water testing. Also, how old is the septic tank. New septic tanks can range between $20,000 to $30,000.

@GreatExpectationsRealty Год назад

Thanks for the comment Jody. Our septic is original so 2006. We have had it cleaned twice and it normally costs around $400. We have had to replace septic drain fields several times in property management over the years and that used to cost about $2500 but now it's closer to $3500 depending on the size of the house. In 15+ years of property management and thousands of homes, I have never had a septic tank need to be replaced, so I unfortunately don't know the cost on that off the top of my head. From others, I understand that a brand new installation of a septic tank and field is around $10k depending on size of home. But, that is also nothing that I have personally done. Hope this helps. :)

What are property taxes in Ocala?

@DEVONSHIRE2003 3 года назад

I totally disagree with her, I live in the City of Ocala in Devonshire, and my home is 3,900 square feet of living space, it’s equipped with 2 Trane ( a 5 ton, and 3 1/2 ton) 19.5 ceer rating 4 zones A/C units, with 2 variable speed air handlers . I’m also running 2 refrigerators, One chest freezer, and one wine cooler, and a variable speed pool pump running 6 hours in the winter and 8 hours in the summer. I also run 18 LED flood exterior lights on a timer ⏱ 8 hours at night. My total Ocala city bill ranges $275-$375 which includes garbage pick up, water and sewage , and my Fiber optic internet (500 MB’s download speeds and 500 MB’s uploads speed).. I also have a well for Irragation only . I have (3) natural gas tankless water heaters, a NG stove, a 100,000 BTU pool and Spa natural gas heater, (7) 12x4 solar panels to also heat up the pool. My home was built in 2007 my natural gas bill is $35 a month.

@GreatExpectationsRealty 3 года назад

You are absolutely right. Thank you so much for sharing that info! I really appreciate it! Comparisons are always helpful. There are some neighborhoods within City of Ocala that have newer homes that are much more energy efficient. Having a tankless water heater, zoned a/c units, double paned windows, natural gas via Teco as opposed to relying on electric and additional insulation in attic spaces, solar panels (love those) will all help with keeping down utility bills. This even applies to older homes. That being said, this video was not really targeted to people that can afford Devonshire. I just checked and there is only one house currently for sale in there and it is $725,000! I was more talking to my kind of people. LOL I'm more of a $200,000-$250,000 house kind of person. But my husband and I chose to invest in real estate differently (not better, just differently as your house has probably appreciated immensely the last few years). Every penny we scrape together we throw towards our rental homes. I don't want to be too bold, but I would love to tour your home even if it's not for sale, just to show what amazing homes there are available within City of Ocala limits. Let me know if you would be open to that: AndreaProeber@gmail.com

Hi. Thanks for all the info.

I see that a couple other people left comments earlier asking you what you pay for home insurance but you didn't reply. Could you answer that question please?

No, for this size house in this neighborhood that is just for the monthly house payment. If you were to buy a home right now in this neighborhood with usda loan and no down payment, your monthly payment including property taxes and home insurance and mortgage and pmi would be about $1400 monthly. You can definitely find less expensive homes, and be right at about $1100 but I am using our own finances as the example.

No, you cannot biuy a home with a credit score in the 500's. First you have to pull your credit reports to find out why it's so low. Late pays, maxed out on credit cards, bankrupcy, chargeoffs. Until we know the full picture, then you can get advice how to increase your credit score to qualify for mortgage.

How much is flood , hurricane insurance ?

@GreatExpectationsRealty 5 месяцев назад

It depends on the size of your home and where it is located. If you already have a home or one you are looking into purchasing, call over to Macy at Brown and Brown insurance and she can give you a quote and some options.

Realty question ? You know any zip code inside de Ocala have a natural gas ?

@GreatExpectationsRealty 5 месяцев назад

Most of the houses within the city limits of Ocala has access to TECO PEOPLES GAS. I believe all or most of on top of the world has it as well. Aside from that it is hit or miss. But I can request a map of the gas lines as I was just getting the electric companies service areas as well. It would really help people to know where is which company. Thanks for the question!

Curious about the car insurance. $325 for how many cars?

@GreatExpectationsRealty 3 года назад

3 total. My husband's 2000 Dodge Intrepid (I have begged him to sell but he is waiting for it to die officially), my son's nissan which he uses to get to and from college and my 2015 Honda CRV (which truthfully is shared as a family car). We don't buy new cars, and we would never have flashy nonsense. We just aren't those kind of people. We prefer well maintained reliable cars. We prefer to invest in real estate. They make new cars all the time, but they aren't making any more land. Hope that helps. :)

@Dranach01 3 года назад

@@GreatExpectationsRealty Thanks for the reply. Just so I can I have a ballpark figure. And you are so right, flashy is nonsense. Like Dave Ramsey says. “To impress someone at a light that you won’t ever see again.” I’ve had a few properties myself and prefer my money in real estate than wasting it on new vehicles.

Hi there! I didn't catch any mention of gas/propane? How much do you pay for gas? Do homes outside of Ocala city limits use natural gas or propane? We live in the mountains here in California and are on propane, and the prices are ridiculous!!! (Like I paid $750 this past month for propane..:0) and omg I would love it if my highest electric bill came out to $222!! The same month with the crazy propane bill I paid $380 in electricity....yes not even joking. florida is looking real nice to me and my wallet right about now.. :(...would you mind doing a more recent video about this with all the inflation and everything that's gone on I and I'm sure others would love to know how much it changed things for Ocala area. Thanks so much for your videos! They are so informative and helpful (and entertaining) for those of us in search of the promised (not so expensive) land lol

@GreatExpectationsRealty Год назад

There are homes here with gas from "Teco Peoples Gas Company" primarily in some of the 55+ communities and within the city limits of Ocala. I am just outside of Ocala by about 5-10 minute drive. I do not have gas, everything we have is on electric. I know some people prefer to have a 'pig' which is just a propane gas tank and they refill it and use it for their cooking. It's a preference, but I prefer my glass top stove.

Hello sweetie! So happy I ran into your channel. We plan on moving to Ocala Florida in a couple of month. I was wondering how much of a down payment would be needed for a 3bedroom house with 2/garage, pool etc. Just thought i ask. Thank you!

@GreatExpectationsRealty 3 года назад

Glad you asked! If you are living outside of the city limits of Ocala you would be able to do a USDA load (rural development) which is very simple to do for most mortgage lenders and banks around here. There is $0 down payment required if you decide to do that. You will need to have your closing costs ready which are about 5% of the purchase price of the home. I would be thrilled to work with you if you are ready. Let us know: 352-817-9160

@yerushalayimmusic6664 3 года назад

300 per month for insurance on just one car? or is that multiple cars?

@GreatExpectationsRealty 5 месяцев назад

That is on three cars. Also, it is full coverage along with two of them being for business use since we are realtors and everything we do is pretty much for business purposes lol. So we are probably over insured, but it’s better safe than sorry. ;)

@cannotbeshaken7889 5 месяцев назад

@@GreatExpectationsRealty Thank you, that is a very good price for three cars. So, why is everyone saying the insurance in Florida is outrageous? And if your mortgage is only 1400 than your home owners insurance and property taxes must be really low as well. Despite the fact that so many youtubers are saying they are sky high in Florida. One youtuber said homeowners Insurance is 800 per month. It's so confusing. We were convinced on moving there until I started hearing all this.

@GreatExpectationsRealty 5 месяцев назад

@@cannotbeshaken7889 so, if they live within so many miles of the coast, it will be higher. Ocala is center of the state and no coast. We don’t have a pool. We have a concrete block home. We live 1 mile from a fire dept. All of this will give deductions. Depending on the age and updates (roof, electrical, hwh) there are savings there too. Sinkhole and flood coverage etc. Insurance has gone up, even doubled, so yeah people are not thrilled right now. But it also means if you were paying $800-$900 per year, you are now paying $2100. Also, my sister lives with us and has for years and she pays a portion. So take it all with a grain of salt.
