How can land alone be worth what's stated above unless it is a huge lot with total privacy and is on a lake or Championship golf course (which is currently impossible south of 44)? That certainly can not be the price of land that abuts a parking lot with food trucks operating out of it?
If it sells, it IS the price of land that "abuts a parking lot with food trucks operating out of it."

This country is in a really good economic position right now due to a lot of factors. Homes in The Villages are greatly sought after and selling well. A home is worth what it sold for. New homes are very, very much desired here.

It appears we all made a wise business decision to buy here. A rising tide lifts all ships.

It's the high road. A bonnie place to be. Some folks will be in McClure afore ye.
