I appreciate that!

Yes we are. Buckle up.

There are two. The one in the newer area goes to the newer area north of the turnpike. And, then there in Marshbend that will take you to brown wood. Currently you can get anywhere in the Villages by golf cart. But, is it practical. Depending on what you like to do should affect where you choose to live. As an example if you play golf, you want to be north of 44. If you like walking trails, the new areas are better. If you want to get groceries, just know if you buy in the newer areas it will be a huge chore for a few years. This might be a better conversation, feel free to email at davemontysales@gmail.com and we can set up a call to discuss what you like to do, and let you know how far everything is from where you think you would like to live. .

Its a tax and shows up on your tax bill. It is attached to the house, and is paid off over time. If you dont like the bond, you can look at older homes where it is either completely or almost paid off. The further north you go the older the home and more the bond is likely to be almost paid off. Bond principles up north started in the $20k range with annual tax of about $900 to where they are building new where they are $45k-$50k and annual payments $3200 range.

That would be great. Just as an FYI, I cant show new homes. But, if you need an agent from The Villages, I work with a great one. Just go into the newer sections with eyes wide open. The percent of homes on the RESALE market is 4 times greater down than anywhere else in The Villages. You will spend a lot of time in your car runnin errands as the closest stores are 20-40 minutes (depending on what errand you are running) by car. Wher are you from in Vermont? I was born and raise in Colchester just north of Burlington.

@@DavidMonty Hi Dave. We are from St-Albans, as you know 10 minutes from Colchester. Some of the pre owned homes south of 44 are asking $$$ as much as new homes. The only advantage might be that the bond balance/payment is lower.

@@plumber802 I playe a lot of hockey up there :) When you visit or are planning to visit, we can set up a call to discuss the diffrence between new and resale and differences in price due to location and we can discuss bond and taxes in different locations. Dabney and Lake Denham have the highest taxes and bonds. Your resulting tax bill can be almost twice as much there as other areas.

@@plumber802 Also, please send me an email at davemontysales@gmail.com and we can set up a call to discuss these details and logistics for your trip.

On the MLS we have about 450 homes and selling about 150 a month. Which is about 3 months of inventory. I am assuming that the villages is about the same, where they are selling about 150 homes month. So total homes on the market would be 900 and total sales per month about 300, this would result in the same 3 months of inventory. Hope this clears it up, if not let know.

SUBSCRIBED cause you Tell the TRUTH !

You bet!

I will be down for a few days in October. Maybe we can meet for a coffee etc to discuss some potential future investments

@@taffyboy4886 That would be great. Please send me an email at davemontysales@gmail.com, I will put a note on my calendar to reach out to you mid September to set up a time to meet.

@@DavidMonty I think most retirees intentions is to not retire house poor 🙄

@@weareallamericans7358 I agree, that is not a wise idea. Fortunately, there are homes here that meet most people's budgets.

Thanks, I agree, the photographer did a great job, but he also had a great canvas to work with.

Hi there, the bond is a tax and the tax bills come out mid fall and due Jan 1st. You will only pay for bond and taxes for the days you own home. Taxes are prorated with the seller.

David, When do the CDD payments start, after you paid off the bond or as soon as you buy the property ? Thank you

@@gbw003 CDD is also on the tax bill which comes in the fall. It starts as soon as the home is built and does not go away. You can think of this like a road maintenance tax.

Hi David, Thank you for the questions. I added the description in the comments.

I am getting a few of these today. I only delete political comments. What is your quesiton?

I asked a question about the house and my post was deleted too. Dave is very sensitive.

I am not sure what is going on. The only comments I delete are political comments

Hi Karl, Waht is your question? I am not sure what is going on, but I only delete politcal comments

Hey Sam, Please email me at davemontysales@gmail.com as I dont have your email address to send it.

I really like SC. Probably cant go wrong there :)

If you are interested, feel free to email me at davemontysales@gmail.com and I will send you the floor plan

3270 Palatine Court is in The Village of Glenbrook in The Villages. A bit north of CR 466.

If you are buying a resale you do not have to close within 30 days. It would be up to the seller of the property and the buyer to negotiated a close date.

@@DavidMonty Thank you so much!

I learned along time ago they are not less expensive, but their service was good enough to stay with them with the minor price differences. But, this price diffference is too big to over come that.

Just so you know, if you ever find yourself in a multiple offer situation there is a way to take emotion out of the process and submit one offer using an escalating offer.

There are no bidding wars above 7% bro those days are yesterday. People are now selling for tens of thousands less than they paid in Peak Covid Hysteria.

If its local, i can do it for you. Just send me the address. If you are out of state, you can use realtor.com. Search homes near your home that are about the same size. Adjust the homes by price per square foot, then go through the pictures of the homes near you to compare their homes to yours. The problem is that you would need to know the market to know home much to adjust individual features.

I get called to do Broker Price Opinions by out of state banks. These are not full appraisals, banks will use these when there is a large down payment, so they dont have to be as precise. But, in my opinion what I do is as accurate. The appraisers are much more detailed but, but the results are very similar. Pricing is not an exact science, so no matter who is going them, there were will be variances. Playing golf you have a 150 yard shot, so I am going to high an 8 iron. The expert comes in and says, you have a slight breeze from the left into you, it is playing down hill, it is a cooler day so the ball wont travel as far - you should play your 8 iron. You can hire an appraiser. But, you would need to specify in the contract that the deal is contigent upon appraisal, and how close that appraisal needs to be to the contract price. In general, a market analysis before submitting an offer should suffice.

I dont have access to VLS numbers. But, I would image them to be similar in nature to the MLS. I have the ability to see what they have for sale, or what is pending, but I dont have the ability to see how fast they are selling. This is why I use months of inventory vs. the raw number of homes on the market. If I added in The VLS resale inventoy about 225 homes on the resale market to the 379 homes on the MLS the raw number goes up to 600 homes-ish. But we would also need to add the number of resale homes that are selling on the VLS (I dont have access to this number) to the number of homes per month on the MLS. If the MLS is selling 110 homes a month, I would estimate they are selling at the same pace or 65 homes per month. Then the months of inventory woue be about the same. December is by far the slowest home here. January-March/April is the busiest time. January has the least number of closings due to the fact the December has the fews homes going under contract. In general if you are looking to buy or sell - January - October is pretty solid. Hope this helps

It is Monty Creative Design on Facebook.

That is the next video :) If the home is vinyl about $25k, if its stucco about $30k.

@@DavidMonty can’t wait for the next video! They are always informative, keep them coming.

If they do what they did in Richmond and not charge a premium for location, yes I will go after one. But, I dont have any idea on pricing until they release the homes. However, my gut tells me that they will not charge a premium, as they would be "admitting" that where they currently building in Lake Denham and place further south are not as desirable.

Thanks. I am not a graphic designer but keep trying to make it look better.

I never sell my Buyers. Meaning they either like the house or they don’t. I view my job as giving my buyers as much information as possible to make an informed decision. I’m not 100% sure if that other agent let their client know. In that example, my client was actually willing to pay almost $900,000 even after I told her the house was probably only worth 700,000 max. But you’re 100% right about word-of-mouth in the villages. A majority of my business came from TH-cam, but after four years a majority of my business is now coming from referrals.

And, hopefully I’m one of the ones that you would consider 😊

You are welcome. I’m ready when you are!

I never went away, but it has been a while since I posted a video. They take quite a while to put together, I actually recorded one in November, one in December and one in January. But, never got a chance to edit them. To answer your question. Yes, we still help our clients update homes. My wife will help pick out flooring, light fixtures, tile, etc. We had to stop her providing full design services, mainly due to the fact that we are busy with the basic updating of homes. But, we can point you in the right direction with a good canvas of a house and points in the right direction as far as looking and feel.
