Let’s make a couple of clear observations.
How is real estate doing in the rest of the country during the pandemic.
Most importantly, who can come and visit the Villages right now? Most buyers are relocating retirees. They’d be hesitant to drive now from the NE, who wants to fly until this is over, why would you come for a Lifestyle visit when you can’t enjoy the lifestyle.
Once the pandemic is truly over, sales will go up. Quite frankly, they may skyrocket as all of those waiting to visit and buy will all flock down at the same time.
Those are my thoughts.
