Often think about getting out while home prices are still commanding a good price.
But on the other hand there's no place like the Villages
I personally don't get the theory that growth will ultimately lead to falling home values. I believe that there will always (as long as most of are alive) be demand for homes in the villages above 44. There are a fairly finite number of homes in this part of TV and there will likely always be retirees that find it to be their preference. As for Shaumburger's question, I travel by golf cart north to LSL, and south to Brownwood. I don't take the cart north of 466 - go by car to SS and shopping, eating etc. in that area. For one thing I find Morse to be extremely dangerous for carts, especially at night. (Yes, I know many will not agree, but that is my personal assessment.) I live close to Colony and since neighborhood WalMart, Aldi and Lowes opened, most of my needs are met with a short commute. I have about fifteen exec. golf courses within a fifteen minute golf cart trip so I play those almost exclusively. Fenny and DeSoto are nice places, but for me, they are like Mt. Dora - a place to visit a few times a year.
