The housing market has made it tough for those who buy but must sell to buy more. No doubt this is the best time to buy. If your pockets are really deep or you just don't know what to do with all your money. Most people are trying to make the best of these times. Never has there ever been this many for sale signs popping up in The Villages. A buyers market have sellers worried. This is where for some; they have no option but to rent. But these are not to your typical type tenants. These particular tenants are clean, easy to get along with and they don't stay very long. Best of all they pay good money for a nice stay in cozy home with all The Villages Amenities.
One particular Villages Contractor has made it his forte to rent full make over homes, fully furnished, including amenities and golf cart privileges. His intentions were to sell the homes after the remodeling was finished. After that the market had dried up and he was looking at possibly taking a loss. The houses stood vacant and taxes, Villages Dues, and other things like lawn maintenance, electric, etc. Feeling that some money is better than no money. They now have 10 houses that are available for monthly, weekly or daily rent . All your towels, sheets, utensils and cooking ware are provided. Right down to a can opener, toaster, and coffee maker. No different than a hotel, you will even have to pay the 11% hotel sales tax.
Homeowners that do this are more likely to do better in the long run. Giving your house away in a soft market is like feeding the ducks with your last piece of bread. The duck will still be hungry and you will be out of bread. So find ways to market your home in the off season and the peak season. Try contacting the contractor I spoke of or view their web site at http://www.prohomecontractors.com . He is very friendly and can probably help with any questions you might have.
