Essential Considerations
Navigating the nuances of The Villages real estate with clarity.
The Bond
A bond debt is attached to most homes to pay for infrastructure. We check if the bond is paid off or what the remaining balance is.
Amenity Fees
A monthly contractual amenity fee grants you access to golf, pools, and centers. It's vital to factor this into your monthly budget.
Maintenance
Understanding CDD assessments vs. HOA fees (The Villages generally has CDDs, not traditional HOAs) is key to managing costs.
