Everyone should take with a grain of salt the announcement today in the Village Daily Sun that “New Home Construction Soars in 2017 in Villages: Growth up 93 Percent, Value at $446M”.
I believe the paper was talking exclusively about Village growth in only Sumter County for this comparison of 2016 to 2017 as total sales in the Villages remain about the same for that time period. A newbie might not realize the Village growth that took place in Lake County during this same time period. So, their picture of growth could be distorted. It’s not growth up 93 Percent for the Villages as a whole.
It’s sometimes difficult for the news media in the headlines to present an accurate picture of what is happening.
