Letter to Editor

Did anyone else read the letter to the editor item from someone claiming "racism" in CV - today's paper- from a disgruntled would be renter? As CV visually appears to be a diverse community - could we wonder if there was some other reason for non-approval? Assuming nothing. Just don't like our village to be the subject of what may be incorrect info on the part of the writer.

Zillow

Lanny this looks more realistic. These are median Zestimates from Zillow.

Dave's questions remain the same.

REAL ESTATE FEES IN CV

If a unit owner sells their 1 bd/1ba condo for $20,000 the normal agent's fee of 6% would be $1,200.00
but the way it was told to me is that a R.E. Agent in CV has a ruling that the least dollar amount they will
accept is $2,000.00. Is there any truth to this.

WHY ARE REALTY VALUES SO LOW IN CV?

Hi all,
The following URL is but one site listing Foreclosures for sale in CV:

http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Century-Village-FL/123902_rid/26.724469,-80.10537,26.706146,-80.15219_rect/14_zm/#/homes/for_sale/Century-Village-FL/fsba,fore_lt/123902_rid/priced_sort/26.724469,-80.10537,26.706146,-80.15219_rect/14_zm/

Have a look and then ask what is going on here in CV and how far will it go?

Don't stop at page 1, work thru the list and see some of the prices listed.

land lease?

my eyes are blurry from reading and attempting to deciper legalese; so, I will just ask and hope for a simple answer. Is CV a land lease complex? my assn prez says yes. A board member in neighboring assn says no. The ans is for a friend considering purchase down the road as he retires. Thank you one and all as usual.

Give Me Land

Lotsa land, ... don't fence me in ...
Century Village has bargain condos, but you already knew that. Did you know we have wide open spaces, greenery, and breezes! Try to find a modern condo that is not built shoulder to shoulder for maximum profit - looking at the wall next door.Photos: Berkshire prairie. Coventry savannah. Sussex shade.

Billboards

Mr. Irwin Levy has a plan to promote the village that requires a change of State law.
What if UCO just put up a sign or two at the gates.
How about a billboard on the Turnpike!

MR LEVY SR. - RE MARKETING CENTURY VILLAGE

At the Executive Board Meeting yesterday Mr Levy Sr. relayed his concerns about the growing problem of unit owners not paying dues. Century Village is not alone concerning this issue , it's happening to private gated communities all over Fl.
This not only effects his profits but also the value of each Century Village unit. The more units not paying dues to Assocs. and WPRF the sooner Century Village becomes a blighted area (my words ,not his). Mr. Levy would like to Re Market Century Village in NY, Pa, Conn. and NJ , by doing so, raise the RE values of Century Village and keep his investment sound.
To Re Market, Mr Levy will be seeking a legislative initiative allowing him to Re Market his old developments in Fl., which under Fl law he is prohibited from doing. I don't know all the legalities of this prohibition but it would be in Century Village's interest to help him get legislation passed, enabling him to market Century Village .
What better person to Market Century Village than the man who had the foresight to develop CV and also the man who has a large financial interest to preserve. (MR LEVY WILL BE CHARGING 2% OF GROSS SALES PRICE PER UNIT FOR HIS RE MARKETING EFFORTS.) This is cheap, if he can turn the CV RE market around.
I would hope the UCO BOARD will be monitoring the Levy Initiative and be prepared to help in anyway it can. Century Village is a great place, let's preserve it.
