We are putting our house up for sale. We really like what we saw in The Villages in central Florida and want to relocate there. Didn't realize how much junk we saved over the years we lived in this house. Most of it is useless can't imagine why a lot of it wasn't thrown out years ago.

:)Good Luck Barry with selling your house. My daugher's in-laws live in The Villages and love it.
It is amazing how much you accumulate over the years. I know we got rid of alot of "stuff" when we moved here.

Good luck with the house sale, Barry. Please make arrangements to fly up every so often to go to Yankee games when we really need a win! Did you decide to re-locate just based on this one visit? The Villages must be something fantastic!

Liz we have videos of the place plus several friends living there. Yes I think it's special. Our plans is to sell here then rent for a while there to make sure we buy the right house for us.
It's only an hour and a half drive to Tampa maybe I'll become a Devil Ray fan.

Good luck selling your house. Don't forget to get a St. Joseph's statue and place it upside down in the ground.

Good luck Barry with the sale of your house.
Do as Phyllis suggested and bury St. Joseph, it work for us with each house we sold.
Don't forget to look up Fran and Joe, they live in the Villages too and seem to love it.

We kind of knew what the place was like from the videos and pictures our friends sent us. So we owed it to ourselves to take a look. My wife who doesn't like the heat much (it gets hot in the summer here in Jersey) said if we like it there we will also get a small place here to come back in the summer months (if we could afford 2 places). We were there 2 days Rose said the heck with a place up north. Just send the kids money for plane fare to visit.

Barry....the best to you and yours in relocating. Forget burying St. Joseph upside down. Just give it over directly to the good Lord. Why use a middleman when you can go directly to the top? I did and my house was the only one that sold in the whole neighborhood while the others are still for sale or have been taken off the market. With God, all things are possible!

Good Luck Barry. You and Rose need the assistance of Johanna and Phyllis for one day... the 2 best throwers away ever born. They ask when did you use this last...not yesterday...throw it out. Who gave this to you...you can't remember...throw it out.

Barry you and the missus do realize it gets HOTTER in Florida than it does here? You might of gone during a cool spell... I guess if you had central a/c you'd be ok... But still Florida just doesnt sound like a place for someone who "doesnt like the heat much"... Do you have a house in Weehawken area or an apt? We kind of knew what the place was like from the videos and pictures our friends sent us. So we owed it to ourselves to take a look. My wife who doesn't like the heat much (it gets hot in the summer here in Jersey) said if we like it there we will also get a small place here to come back in the summer months (if we could afford 2 places).

Bronxgirl1942 which Village are your daughters in-laws living in here in the Villages? We live in Tall Trees and have been here two years.
By the way, Barry and Rose came here during our 90 degree days. They barely missed our 100 degree days of which we had two weeks this year.
I don't think the heat will be a factor for them. With all the pools and rec centers and so much going on, they won't be in the heat much...except if thy play afternoon golf!!!!!

James I have a house in North Bergen. Weehawken is 6 blocks to my east. It's amazing how much building there has been on the waterfront. I did a lot of the phone work in the 1st wave of building before I retired.

I take drives from Lincoln Harbor up to the Barnes & Noble in Edgewater every couple of months, and the area changes drastically every time! My friend was in a local real estate about two years ago, and those those townhouses are TINY, yet they're going for millions... I can just imagine what the taxes are... And the whole area looks so "cramped"
I may hate my commute in there, but I'll stick to my house in the outer burbs where theres some breathing room and you're not dependent on the Pulaski or 495 to get you out of there via car... Going into the city may be convenient, but i cant tell u the last time i took the ferry in (and i get free admission as a UBS employee)
