    The whole pricing thing is exploding in front of our eyes E. Seriously; this one went up two weeks ago and I thought it was off the charts high. Drove by today and there was a pending sign on it. Admittedly it is gorgeously done, take a look and you will see what i mean.

    Then look at the price and you will see why I was stunned.

    I looked at the pictures and love the kitchen. I wish I could have gone inside.

    It was just a year ago i was telling viewers on this site $100 dollars a square was the ballpark on single family homes that had minor renovations. Vintage, something less; full blown, well done flips good get as high as $150 per sq. Between the success of KHov and the massive number of flippers buying up anything that is close to reasonably priced, that equation has changed.

    Sun City home values went up over 11% last year, and this year looks to be more of the same. I check out Zillow on a daily basis and the homes coming on the market are all over the map. Vintage can still be found under a $100 a square, but they go fast. Should be another great year for the PIF, too bad so much of it is being shoveled at golf.

    As much as I love Sun City, I would not be buying anything until the lawsuit is resolved and the dust settled. Appeals could drag this out even further. You really don't know what you are buying into until this is settled. The return of PIF money could have a devastating financial impact. There are just too many unknown variables at present. I wonder if brokers are disclosing these issues to potential buyers as they would ethically, and possibly legally, be required to do so.

    How much and what is being targeted for golf? Why does the community continue to pour a disproportionate amount into a dying game? Looks like a vocal minority has control over the Board. The opportunity cost of golf at SC is staggering. Think of the community center that could have been built. **

    One person's beautiful is another person's overdone. I would have run out of that place very fast from too much detail. I do like the patio homes and I was inches away from buying one that was perfectly done. They are cozy and private. I balanced privacy vs having a view. I went with a view.

    Emily: I certainly hope nothing of significance comes from the lawsuit. However, I have spent a good portion of my life being utterly amazed with legal outcomes when the case seemed to be a slam dunk or was completely without merit. One thing we can all agree upon, the lawyers will profit regardless of outcome.

    If that were only the case E. Unfortunately, Willowbrook/Willowcreek is slated for next year, the South Golf Course clubhouse is coming up and another 3 or 4 golf maintenance buildings are in the works. And, the board just approved a $40K study to see how and where they can do another round of "turf reduction projects." Those run 800K or more per so hold on to your hats as the board chases these "good ideas" to save money.

    The problem is each board looks at it in a vacuum of their term rather than a composite total over the long haul. If there was a long range planning committee with everything on the table, it would be an entirely different picture.

    Is there no pushback from within the community on the amount that is being spent on golf - a game in rapid decline? So if one were to buy into the community, the vast majority of the $3500 PIF fee is going toward golf? Talk about the need for long range planning. This is like investing in Royal typewriters.

    OK, that was good for a chuckle.
    It does seem crazy to pour good money after something that seems to be fading away.
    Yes, all reports and indicators say that golf is a dying sport, but why is Topgolf thriving.
    Topgolf is an entertainment center with a 3 story driving range, much different than the real game I am sure.

    There is a Topgolf being built here in Thornton, CO and the anticipation by all ages is fantastic. This place will be packed, at least to start with.

    I don't golf, but have many friends that do. The hope I hear from some of them is that places like Topgolf will spur interest of the younger generation. Time will tell I guess.

    Yeah at that price I doubt you'd ever be able to make a profit if you ever want to sell.

    There is a condo for sale at 10637 W. Tropicana Circle (between Del Webb & Talisman).
    The price is $172,500 - Coldwell Bankers.
    There is a variety of flooring - tile, carpet, laminate.
    No separate laundry room. The washer & dryer are located at the end of a room.
    One shower just has a curtain. Closets are small.
    Realtor did point out the new wood cabinets in kitchen.
    Take a look.
