I visited a good friend of mine down there 2 years ago. I absolutely loved it and may consider looking for a home down there when I retire in 4 years.

Is there a list of which neighborhoods allow fenced in yards (physical not invisible) & if there is a pet limit in a household? (3 dogs need to move with me to Florida ☺️)

You didn't mention that unreliable solar power is rammed down your throat. Also, how much land was cleared to put in such a huge solar farm.

Your videos are so helpful! Does the HOA allow home owners to fence in yards (physical fence not an invisible fence)?

You Lie Like Trump!!

Play One Ad in your Idiot slow Motion and You're Done!! you are Thieves like trying can Tell!

I thought FL had low property taxes. This is higher rates than TX.

We chose to build because the resales were $150k overpriced compared to what the builder was offering.

I am thinking of looking here currently living in the villages need to know all the costs taxes etc, I need a move in ready home as well. Would love to get in touch when we drive out to see the area

I’m surprised this eco-community uses sod instead of encouraging low water landscaping such as wildflowers, etc.

I cant take this guy serious with Mr. neck tattoo in the background

Yeah, not thanks! Too many BS costs and fees. I like money too much to blow it on that place.

You guys must not get out much.....wow....?????? It is like a lady brought the frat bros with her......

Land of the fee and home of the debt.

These guys are great. Even though I wasn’t a client they helped me with a purchase on Easter Sunday! This channel gave us all the info to make an informed decision that we felt good about.

What about the 2 HOA fees for each county? Is there still a charge to sell your home? How much is the CDD fees?

Your HOA is 350! Geez no complaints coming from CA (originally GA)

I highly recommend Team John Garuti. Greg Healing helped my wife Barbara and I tremendously in picking out a neighborhood and buying. I recommend calling a real estate sales person who lives in Babcock before looking here as they know the area and can help tailor tour needs to a particular community.

How much is HOA at Babcock ranch? How much is CDD? How much to join golf ?

do cdd fees change year to year

why does all builders and realtors say the tax rate is 1 percent its 1.53....so this house taxes will be 12000 plus 3000 in non ad stuff so 15000 per year. I just visited last weekend and visited toll brothers in they have 1 percent on the handout along with lennar and i questioned it they said no it 1 percent. these people will take a loss on this house....way too high priced..see people do lose on real estate. Especially in mass housing communities.

My wife and I love living here and while there are some issues noting is horrible. It's a great place to live in my opinion and a wonderful place t come home to after work.

Can I have your phone number. My husband and I would like to visit Babcock Ranch March 14 and it would be great if you will show us this place.

Stop with the garages taking over the front of the house! They look terrible, do side load or in back. We will never buy here with that look!!

any chance for EV chargers ? and a EV car dealership?

I want to move from NY over the summer of 2025. When should my wife and I plan our visit? I've seen a bunch of 3BR/3BA single story floor plans that look perfect but we'll need to co-ordinate with the sale of our house here.

nobody knows the future...do not guarantee that prices will be higher in the future....that says alot.

just went there this past week. Builders are giving big discounts off houses....I could basically i could put an offer in 50 to 70 thousand off list....What hurts this place is fees. Way too many...and if building slows someone has to pay to maintain this place and traffic is crazy. if you get a house for 500,000 ...your talking at least 1200 a month in taxes and fees a month

As of now .... feb 2024, are there any LOTS available anywhere in Babcock that are .5 acre or bigger?

Great info John! 👍

John, is there a certain number of homes that need to be sold in Babcock National to make the golf course fully private? Are there any talks in the course private?

I think the most wild part about it is even with CDD fee, HOA, Property Taxes, I'd still be paying half as much as in Chicago 🤣. Also completely agree about Zillow, 99 % of people won't get the 100 percent stock homes so its pretty misleading lol

This area is going to be unreal in 4 or 5 years. Was down there last weekend and was awestruck about how much building was going on.

500k is not even close to a cheap " budget " home. Its extremely high for the " average " person, or people. A deputy sheriff and a Radiology technician can not afford a payment for a 500k plus home. We havent had anyone help us with anything ever and sure have no trust funds. The payment on a 500k PLUS home. PLUS the HOA fees are WAY over the average working couple with college degrees and career we both went into so we could help other. With few ither pay.e ts, and great credit, we just couldnt do it and have enough left to actually enjoy life! No wear for my RV, no wear for my boat, both of which are paid off. Interest is stupid high now and a payment would be $3700 a month for 500k plus tje HOA fees that are close to 3 or 4 hundred a month. Actually cant find the exact number for that. So before taxes or anything else in life its at very least 4k a month. And thats after having close to or a little more than 85k to put fown up front. New construction likely has impact fees as well. Then you have 10 feet between you and you neighbor. Alsost have to where protection when outside because you are that close to your neighbors spouse.. Yeah that was a joke, but still. I was really excited about the place until looking into it. Both with college degrees, me having had a career in law enforcement and my wife runs equipme at a hospital that can see through your body as well as having to put IVs in all the time. We just cant justify it. Now if they started their own PD or security detail and I were chief or leading security details, then it might be worth the payment and tiny tiny lots. As far as I know they have neither of that so its just too much to afford on our upper middle class incomes with no family money or somehow winning somehing.. Amd BTW. Tbey START at 400k plus, they go way up from there...

Great informational video as always...which builderis currently offering complimentary pools?...Thank you again for all your videos

I just wish the lots were bigger, it sounds great other than that. That's pretty much a deal breaker for me. Well, also, if there isn't an opening for my soon to be wife for work. It would be a really long drive to another for her.

Are all neighborhoods 55×

After buing a house in ft myers from sposen homes who lied about me renting my house out i sold my house and dont trust florida developers

"climate change"

The Villages is looking better and better the more I watch this channel.

With our experience here in Broward county, Florida, Lennar’s construction is definitely less than perfect. An example would be in Embassy Lakes. The second floor is pressed particleboard that puffed up during hurricane damage causing mold, etc. AND in Ava Marie in Naples, the new homes that were built- people had to have them replace the tiles on the floor and have the roofs fixed. So what’s with that? Don’t they have honest final inspections or is it the people they hire? Good luck with that.

is electric cheaper.

A "Smart City" Yeah... No thanks. Goes right along the NWO agenda. You can Thank your local elites for this. 🫤

I’m thinking about moving there and I can say the hoa isn’t that bad.

Let's talk about the HOA and CDD fees.

Your HOA fees are way too high and then you've got the CDD fee- so both together equal about $6 thousand US dollars a year. You can never really own your home. At the very least the construction companies should eat the cost of the roads.

We need a CVS and a Suncoast Bank, just adding Publix prices are extremely HIGH!

Watched multiple videos and my wifi and i probly won't be touring Babcock Ranch.

Thanks, I will look elsewhere 😊
