Bob and Liz. Nice, happy, friendly people. I wouldn't mind them as my next-door neighbors, no matter where I lived!
They are! Thanks for stopping in. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

I admire this couple, they planned well and did the right thing for their age moved to the villages hats off
Yes they did. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
These two really did it right. Researching everything, knew what they wanted, and set a budget.
Tell Bob & Liz that we will need a tour & interview after they move-in! Happy building!!!
I will be watching and hopefully they can help us out on that one. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

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
Yes they are still having problems but I think it will getting a little better soon but you are right. I bought from Costco. But the selecetion seems to get smaller and fuctuates. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
This was a great interview. We learned so much from this couple if we were to consider building new, and by the way we live in St Louis too!

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 CZcams 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.
Excellent! Thank you so much for taking your time and shared important information to us. 👍👍❤️❤️

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.
There are diffrent builders for dif. areas. so that helps. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
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.
Thanks Julie. Yep...those are the things you need to think of before hand. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
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.
Very helpful. Thank you

You are welcome . I hope it helped.
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.

NOTHING is fire proof except fire!!!
Steel studs aren't as strong as wooden ones either!
This was very good information. I was looking at many for sale this morning. Found a few I loved. To then the new ones being built. Then Goggle to show they provide a place for you to come ck out? I'd love to talk to them more. I am really liking the Villages. Great information no doubt.

Great information Rusty! We just bought our house in Hawkins, and we are moving in on the 3rd of June, can't wait. 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!

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.

Love the Rusty video’s. We are passing in the Village of Labelle on the 26th in a designer home but small lot and no view. Good luck to the new owners.

Hey Rusty it's Mike the type of home we bought was a Tall Pine designer home . It's near the neighborhood Rec Center close enough to walk to get our mail but far enough not to hear noise. We are excited about the new hybrid rec center in Town Square they are building. Nobody will say when it's going to be open but they're working very fast and I've heard it could be by the Year's End. Can't wait to get there. Hope we run into you again. We should be down there by June😃
Saw a video of it. When you are down next lets get together.
Sounds good Rusty. We just finished three days of showings at our house and going to accept an offer today. If all goes right we should be down there in May. Can't wait and see you then.

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.
Thanks for the note. Hope you make it soon. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
@@RustyNelson we will - 2023 - due to Covid the US borders were closed to Brits the week after Don shot our first video the day we secured our lot. With a 2nd Covid wave hitting the UK last summer we decided to rent our home out and ride the covid storm. We have tenants until 2023.
Babette’s were great and very understanding allowing us to cancel our furniture order. So the past year I’ve been working from home and living the dream of my retirement in The Villages via CZcams. I have subscribed 🏴😃🏴
So whats it like remotely owning a home you’ve never seen? I set up The Chitty Chatty Residents Facebook group and through that have got to meet some absolutely amazing people. And through their postings feel part of a wonderful neighbourhood. I’ve virtually met and made many friends, who have been looking out for us. Look out for Chitty Chatty - The Movie coming to a You Tube channel in May 🇺🇸🏴😂🏴🇺🇸

great interview. I do have a question. Do they charge extra for changing the layout of the house? I know to stretch there will be a cost obviously but changing walls and rooms ?

Very helpful! Thank you, how do you hang pictures on the wall when you have no wood studs?
Rusty thank you for all the informative videos of the Villages. Can you do a two weeks Lifestyle visits or only 6 days the most you can stay. We don't want to stay for a month but only couple weeks. You've stayed at the Loft as well, which is better place to stay?
Loft is an apartment and as far as I know they are not furnished but I would check. The Lifestyle is 4-6 nights I believe at this time but please call them and just ask...they are nice folks and can answer that specifically and may have a better answer for you. If you go for a second visit you can stay longer. Also you could rent a home from a private owner. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
I tried once to do a stay greater than 7 days but they said it was not possible. I believe that allowing stays of longer than 7 days would run afoul of some Florida law that The Villages are adamant about abiding, hence the limit of 7 days.

Hey Thanks for stopping in John. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
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.
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
Correct. So, after your 2 lifestyle visits and additional hotel stays followed most recently by your one month rental in Collier, do you think you will buy something?
On the fence right now but with that said I would have no problem buying. More finding the right place for me! Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
Great video!!! Do they allow to change the ceiling hight? How much will it cost say from 9 to 12? Thanks
Not that I know of but that would be something you would have to ask the design center. Wold change on all the houses. thanks for stopping by. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

Thanks for all the information. At what stage in the process were you informed about the amount of the bond and the payment terms? Also, were you provided with the amount of, or an estimate of the amount of, the annual CCD (or are they called maintenance fees?)? Did you get that information early in the process? Thanks again for all the information... Good luck and Best Wishes.
Since I personally have not bought a house I can't tell you but... Just ask your sales person and they can help you. Once the property is released you can look any of that up on the tax records for each property. You can tell what you taxes are if you are building a home until you pick the actual home for the lot you are building on. But you can get a general idea by checking local homes and asking your sales rep. I will e doing a video soon on how figure some of that. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
We just put down $7,500 on a plot in Citrus Grove and when we received the paperwork in the mail detailing the particular plot involved, the bond amount was on it. It was somewhere between $35,000-$40,000. That amount is amortized over a 20-year period and is part of your real estate tax bill (Rusty has a very informative video covering that in great detail)
Great interview Rusty. I think a lot of us are asking where will they live until the home is ready. Not all of us want to take $500k from ira’s or savings. Plus we are conservative and would like to sell first as did your guests
There are plenty of homes available to rent while you are waiting for the build.
There are plenty of things you can do. Rent a home...rent from the Villages...hotel for short stay. They will ehlp if they are late but from what I hear...does not happen much. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

Liz and Bob mentioned that they sold their current home first, then came down to find their future home and purchase it. What did they do with their belongings that they were going to bring down to TV during the home search and purchase process? (I'm assuming that they were at least bringing some things with them even after downsizing)
Is negotiating the price of (whatever - (e.g., house, upgrades, appliances, etc.) a thing ?? Or is it "This is the price, take it or leave it"?
I haven’t heard of anyone who negotiated anything during the bid process.
The Villages does not negotiate. They may reduce the price of a home in inventory, but that price is non-negotiable.
If someone is buying a spec home or inventory home directly from the developer, there is no negotiating on price. If the developer wants to close out a neighborhood so they can move on to building the next neighborhood, the developer sometimes reduces the price of a home.

Bob, was it an easy decision to wait to build vs. buying an existing home? Did you do a lifestyle visit first?
What was the total cost of your of your lot , and home and pool and the changes you made?
I ask that they do not actually give exact numbers because they really serve no purpose. For instance. A water lot can run from 50 k to 200+ K s there is nothing really gained from knowing. Best thing to do is go to the website and look at current prices of homes. All the numbers are time sensitive. Homes have gone up 35K in the last few months so numbers will never be current.
