IMHO, TV will still be a beautiful place 30 years from now. Beyond that, our children can worry about it.

We have no children but do have nieces and nephews and they all want to live here. What I see them doing is likely using our place almost like a time share until one of them decides to buy the others out. They all think we have done the best for our retirement and love to visit. Now they are in their late 30s and early 40s and talk about "when" not "if" they move to the Villages...regardless of whether we leave the place to them or if they buy their own place.

We don't ever talk about home value. Since we don't plan to sell, we don't worry about the value of our home. We love it; we bought it; we are frogs and the kids will love it after we are long gone!!!!! That's the value to us.
