If they can do those prices there, they can do that here since amenties cost the developers nothing since they are sold back to the CDC's and the infra-structure is paid by the bonds. Essentially the Village of Fenney is no different than TV except for the prices.

I bought a brand new cottage home for $186,000 about 18 months ago. I am not in one of the new villages.

As long as the golf courses are full, why would they lower their prices. As in any business, they get what the market will bear. If there are similar quality golf courses outside for less money, they don't seem to be affecting The Villages championship courses. If they did, I'm positive that we'd see the prices come down.
