Due to federal housing laws there can be no discrimination due to age. The ONLY exception is a community in which there are at least 80% homeowners over the age of 55. If the Villages were to exceed the 20% under 55 limit we would no longer be able to keep this as a senior community and would have to allow anyone to purchase homes. I have a hard time understanding how someone could be told that they could buy a resale even if it exceeded the 20%...I get the feeling that there was some miscommunication. One of the posters stated that the 'agent' would allow the exception. No matter who the agent is, MLS or otherwise, the agent cannot break federal housing laws.
