As far as I know, real estate values have gone up here every year since the beginning of The Villages. I would expect them to keep rising.

Usually the best time to buy real estate is right now. In addition, you have the option of buying something and renting it out until you're ready to move either paying off your mortgage or making some money for yourself. You can use a rental service which takes only about 20% and relieves you of all the headaches of doing it yourself. This is especially attractive if you re not down here. You can also use The Villages who rent homes for lifestyle visits. There are a lot of options.

Normally location in real estate is everything. I don't se it as being very important within The Villages. Every area is attractive and home values continue to increase.

People are coming in and out constantly. Most of those leaving, unfortunately, are leaving permanently. There are always homes becoming available. In addition, it is said that the average villager moves three times so homes become available in that way as well.

But everyone is different and only you know what you really want.
