Every one I know, and it has only been a few, who found The Villages not to their liking, was able to sell their property here at a profit, quickly, and go where they felt more comfortable.

This is easy to prove. There are 53 homes in our Village which is just now six years old. The handful of people who sold made a huge profit, our across the street neighbors got almost a hundred thousand dollars more after having lived here for less than three years.



It’s the rare house that one would make hundreds of thousands on. About like telling a kid he is sure to become a major league baseball player and make millions. Of course we all have our fantasies.

I have seen most break even or gain a very modest amount on the sale of there home in TV during the past four years after examining all of the cost.

Home is where I now live so TV will be called home. Where I will die has yet to be foretold.
