There are also three pages of Villages new open houses daily so you can see all manner of home styles in all the areas, giving you a good idea of the market - now! The market is likely to be dramatically different in three years. We had our LSP in 2010 and did what I suggest, then rented for eight years, always looking at open houses, and bought in 2018. By then we knew exactly what we wanted and how much to pay.

Great advice, Ed. One of the nice things about visiting The Villages is that open houses for both new and preowned homes are held every day, not just on the weekends as is normal up north. Open houses are a good way to see various neighborhoods and styles of homes.
