    So ref the appliances and furniture, Liz is correct about the time line and delivery etc. We live about 2.5 hrs south of TV and are buying a place in TV. We looked at furniture and appliances while up that way and the time frame for getting them was months out. So while we were back down here near our current home we shopped those same stores and found that we could get those same items, delivered up there much sooner. Belueve they said that as long as the warehouse was within 200 miles which it is. In 1 case, they were ready to deliver the furniture 1 or 2 weeks later however we couldn't do that because we don't close on the new TV house until the end of this month (Sept). So think about going to other locations not so close to TV to shop for furniture and appliances

    Hi… I just listened to this for the first time, it was really, good thanks! 26:29 I appreciate it. Wondering if every once in a while if you’re referring to the time as in the month and year, you could kind of mention that throughout the interview because I didn’t know whether you were talking about 2021, 2022 so that would have been helpful. Thank you to the couple you interviewed they were lovely. I was wondering if your personal TH-cam video about the villages is listed anywhere by date so I could start at the very beginning and watch it all the way through. I am actually coming down to the villages at the end of February. Unfortunately, there was not a lifestyle weekend available so I’m just coming down to look around at rentals but I thought I could
    watch some of your videos in time sequence before I arrived. Thank you, Loretta.

    We just went through the design process about the same time as Bob & Liz. Our construction in St. Catherine is scheduled to start 5/5 and finish 8/18 - a few weeks earlier than their’s, most likely because we don’t have a pool. We were told that our construction manager actually works for The Villages, but all the builders are contractors. Just to clarify for any changes you want after you sign on Friday, it’s $500 plus the cost of any drawing changes plus of course any additional material & labor expenses related to the change. I believe our design consultant said the new design center in Brownwood would be replacing the Lake Sumter one in just a few months.

If my wife will sell our house up north I will be buying a much bigger lot and not kissing lanai and no view but are in the middle on Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood.

    Thanks for the interview. When they spoke of aluminum studs, I think it is a better building product. It's not new, aluminum studding has been used for years in commercial construction. Not only is it strong, but one very important factor of the product is that it is "fireproof". A very important factor when building homes, especially in a tight development like the village's a fire could spread very fast. Block and stucco are also fireproof. Anyway, thanks again for the video. I enjoy following the adventure.

    Rusty, what a great interview. They were so helpful. I did see I'm the comments that they plan to rent in August but wondering where they will be living until then. Living out of state and selling a home poses some challenges regarding a place to live in the interim. Also, I would be interested in knowing of they sold their belongings or are they in storage. These are things I would need to consider as well. Thank you for all the hard work in putting these videos together. Really appreciate it and take notes. Good luck to them with their new home.

      We're going through the same process now. We will close on our new house at the end of July. We rented a home in The Villages through The Villages Property Management Team for 5 weeks in July through the first week of August. The rental house has a 2-car-plus garage. We will use that space to temporarily store some of our stuff until we move into our home. We're about 7 hours away and we'll also rent a climate controlled storage unit in the area to store some of our furniture and other lesser-needed stuff for a couple of months. We did not sell our current home first, so this will allow us to prepare and get our home on the market a little sooner.

    Costs are far less in The Villages, relatively, than in Duluth Minnesota. Property taxes are different in Florida. The stresses involved with selecting a lot and home with all the finishes etc, isn’t something I want at this stage of my life. I would only be interested in existing homes. It’s a personal preference. Wonderful couple. Rusty, do a tour of their home after they’ve settled in if you go back to The Villages. I’m guessing you will have one more trip down to make your selection, if you do indeed decide to move there. Thanks, Rusty.

We wanted to buy a home that was ready to go, and we were lucking to find one that had more upgrades than we thought we would find in a home that was completed and ready. We would be interested in maybe working with you on a video of our experience if you want. Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Congrats to Liz and Bob. Fellow Mossy Oakers :-) AND accountants :-) So you got 5-7 months build time. BOY do I wish we had had that. We're Brits and the one thing we didn't factor is COVID causing the FX to crash from $1.39 to $1.15.... and then rocketing to $1.42... We had the standard 3 months - thank god I deal FX so managed a blended rate... Had we been lucky enough to have 7 months the FX would have restored and we'd still have our pool budget - that's gone to the bankers.. Enough negativity. We wish you much happiness in your new home. St Catherine is looking to be a truly lovely area, and in the years to come will be the centre of The Villages. I think you bought well. Hopefully, when Covid is over, the flights are resumed to the US we can meet up with you - Intrigued by your move arounds - I guess as avid researchers you saw our home being built and the changes we put in place.

    Great video! One of my questions for Bob and Liz would have been: Did the price of your home change from the time you put the deposit on land until the time of your design appointment? My understanding is that prices are changing very quickly. For example; when I asked for a price sheet for the base prices of designer homes, they told me that the prices change too much, however, they also told me that the price of the home is not locked until you pay the 20%. So, the price could go up 3 times in 3 months and you are stuck with the purchase without the ability to get out of the contract. I was told that this is because construction costs can go up which is possible, however, they also raise prices on spec homes where the construction is complete.

    • @RustyNelson
      @RustyNelson  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes they are. I believe once you put a deposit down and do the design the price will not change. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

So we are on R way down to a 55 + near Charleston ,900 homes when built out Manned and gated .All the amenities you could want . Price range 4 to 7 hundred thousand range elevation about 60 feet .Were bringing the check book if we like we buy ,if not we keep looking .

      I guess that’s why they have 31 flavors at Bask and Robins. For me just the opposite. I love having a bunch of executive courses to choose from. Love the idea that I don’t see the same people at the restaurants. Gated...no but have not seen any reason. Although they do have gates that have people and monitor. I hope you find what you are looking for and I agree it is not for everybody.
