Weekly Gratitude: SOLD in the Villages!

Do you remember the listing we told you about in the Villages community of Evergreen a couple weeks back? Yesterday, our client SOLD the property. There were multiple offers on the table, and we chose a cash offer with no contingencies and closing within 8 days.

As an added bonus, our seller spent less than $30K on upgrades to the house and got $80K more than they expected. We are so happy for them!

There’s also an extra room that would be ideal for a home office!

Geek's Number Talk: Par for the Course

Now more than ever, working from home, health and fitness, and spending time with friends and family are important factors in many people’s lives. So having a golf course near your home could be a huge personal asset. But what about the impact on your bank account?

As far back as the 1990s, research has suggested that the presence of a golf course increased nearby home values by 7.6%. More recent studies indicate that the value decreases significantly as the distance between the home and the golf course increases.

So it’s safe to assume that the presence of a golf course in a residential community is a net benefit to property value in addition to adding to the luxury of a home or neighborhood. However, this nice amenity also comes with a cost for upkeep!
