We were lucky we did get the 4th choice since the party who put the deposit were not able to complete the sale. AT the time there were quite a few homes and patio villas for sale, many of them are still for sale. Not sure what happened in early to mid May but property seemed to be “flying off the shelves.” Now at least from what I see things have slowed down, but I’m far from an expert and aren’t privy to any sales numbers. Seems to me homes and patio villas aren’t selling as quickly as CYVs. We would have liked a free standing in home in Chatam but as snowbirds, lawn maintenance was a consideration. Our CYV has no lawn that’s fine with me because my home in the north has plenty of lawn.
Lyle Gant keeps excellent stats on all homes sold thru the MLS. In 2017 Designers sold = 596, Cottages = 277 Courtyard Villas = 174 Patio Villa = 134

2017 Sales by Realtors in The Villages

Similar trend so far in 2018
