Where a Summerfield listing actually reaches
A Summerfield listing reaches buyer agents through the Stellar MLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Summerfield proper, Del Webb Spruce Creek, On Top of the World adjacent, Marion Oaks, Belleview adjacent, Stone Creek, Spring Lake, Paddock Park, Kingsland Country Estates and Silverleaf. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Summerfield frequently look at Belleview, Ocala and The Villages in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
