BJ, Thanks for you inquiry about golf views. Yes, golf view properties are significantly higher than "rear" neighbor lots. Price depends on area, but $50,000-$?? is the norm. Next is the pool. Again that depends on the pool, heated?, hot tub?, etc. What I could do for you is set up a private web site that would send you properties that have pools and/or golf views. If you'd like to have me do that my direct e-mail is ldierker@tomgrizzardcom. FYI, I currently have a Bridgeport with a salt water pool NOT ON A GOLF COURSE, listed at $449,900 (for comparison purposes this is a 3/2 block stucco with 2 car plus golf car garage, paver driveway, upgraded appliances, tile throughout excet in bedrooms and BOND PAID IN FULL). I would be happy to put together a "package" about The Villages, the bonds, the maintenance fee, and buying new verses previously purchased property. NOW is a great time to buy. And, remember, if we can find the right house, right view you can add your dream pool and "bird cage" to the property. Just let me know your price range and time line and I'll get to work.
