Real estate has appreciated greatly in the last two years, so prices are higher, no matter, where you buy. Therefore, the homes under 100,000 has gotten to be a smaller number.

Like Bogie said, no matter where you buy, the lifestyle in incredible.

I expect the number of manufactured homes to be rebuilt, will grow as TV evolves.
I spoke with someone in The Villages planning office. He said that their goal is to replace 250 manufactured homes with cottage homes this year. It may stand at 80 right now, but there will be more and more. Take a ride around here sometime. It's amazing how many you'll see. It seems that every day I see another manufactured home being removed. There are several homes under construction and several vacant lots where new homes will be built.

Another thing that a lot of people may not not is there is a Realty Executives agent named John Porta who is also buying up manufactured homes and building new site built homes in their place. Most of his, from what I've seen are concrete block where The Villages homes are all wood frame construction.

I'm guessing that in ten years a manufactured home will be a rare sight in these parts.
