[Villages Kahuna]

I had the major window sub-contractor doing some service work here at our house today and I asked him whether sales had slowed with the bad economic news. He replied, "No way. We're blowing and going." I asked whether he meant just on the new places adjacent to Lake Sumter Landing. he said, "No, all over. We're building 6-7 days a week there as well is out in Hemingway and points west along CR 466A."

Is this place immune from the economic conditions thruout the rest of the country? It sure appears that way. But if prospective buyers can't sell their houses up north and their investment portfolios have taken a major league hit...then how in the world are they buying all these places down here?

I can't quite figure that out.

P.S. I sure hope you're right on your projection for the economy, Fumar. But I'd be willing to bet that you're off on your timing by at least a year, maybe longer.
