Being an active adult doesn’t mean sitting around playing Mahjong all day. Things have changed. Today’s active adults are getting fit. In fact did you know that aging is a choice? We can make a choice everyday when we wake up to rot a little more or get up and get busy with taking care of our bodies.

SoliVita offers many amenities for today’s active adult. Softball, tennis, pickle ball, horse shoes, golf, aerobics, yoga, Tai Chi, weight lifting, swimming, full cardio and much much more.

My wife and I moved into SoliVita in May of 2010. We were both 53 at the time and made a decision to start taking care of our bodies. As most folks in our age bracket we had had way too much fun in our younger years and our bodies were starting to fall apart. My wife also had and has some serious health issues that needed to be dealt with. In May both of us had difficulties even getting out of bed in the mornings!!

Once in SoliVita we decided to go to the gym 3 days a week and do cardio and weight lifting. It’s now been almost 11 months and our lives have drastically changed. Not only are we still working out at the gym 3 days a week but we have recently bought bicycles and are riding 6 days a week.

I have lost 20lbs and went from bench pressing about 70lbs to doing repetitions with over 200lbs!! My wife, well, I’ll let you decide for yourself…..

TLW looking good!

Hi folks. Let’s talk a little bit about Real Estate market conditions in SoliVita. Recently I have spoken to several SoliVita homeowners and the first thing they mention is that NOTHING is selling in SoliVita. Well lets look at some facts. The figures below are based on the first half of each year.

In 2006, at the peak of the market, there were 72 closing in the first half of the year. This year there were 91 sales! That’s an increase of 20%. In fact that’s the most resales in SoliVita for that time period EVER! So…properties are selling at a rapid pace.

Now let’s explore why they are selling. This one is easy. PRICE! It’s all about the price. At the peak of the market, 1st half of 2006, the average sale was at $276,600. This year, 2010, the average selling price in SoliVita is $165,301. That’s a decrease in value of 40%. Considering homes in Poinciana have had a decrease in value of 70%….the values in SoliVita have held up pretty good.

So…..will your SoliVita home sell in this market? ABSOLUTELY!!! As long as the price is right. If you want to know what that price is just give me a call….I’ll figure it out for you. OK?
