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.
