3. There are distinct reasons why Florida is the #1 state from which people move to The Villages.
Two days ago in the Lake Sumter Landing Sales Office, on the "Welcome New Villagers" Board listing the closings on new/used home purchases between 12/28 and 12/31, there were 60 couples/persons listed with their states. Twenty-eight (28) of them were from Florida.
Look at the board in the coming weeks, and daily there will be 30-40 closings listed.
Getting a place in TV is a complete no-brainer.

Last week, I was driving back to Michigan after visiting The Villages for two weeks. I started talking to an older man in the hotel lobby and he told me they were on there way to Naples, FL for the winter. I told him I owned a home in The Villages. He sad he wished their home was in The Villages as there was so much more to do. He said it gets a little boring just looking at the beach.
Mom and I used to own a condo on St. Augustine Beach. I loved the beach but there was so much more to do in TV. We built our TV home and put the condo on the market. It took us over a year to sell our condo and yes we took a loss when we sold it!
