Dear tvbound,
I sold real estate for 41 years, which only means that I sold real estate for 41 years but here are my thoughts: as villagetinker suggested, if you are buying for investment you might wait, but if you are buying for convenience, comfort, the home-of-your dreams, or whatever, then buy when you find the home that trips your trigger the most. (That’s what we did) We bought a floor plan that we loved (our number one consideration because of potential family visits) based on “location, location, location” (near where we knew we would spend most of our time). So we bought based on floor plan and future activities and then completely redid the home to our own personal tastes. We couldn’t be happier.
Oh, and one additional thought: you’ll need two Realtors in order to see all that is available, one from The Villages and then an independent broker. Make sure you are comfortable and trust the two with whom you choose to work. It is more important that you trust your Realtors than it is to like them, but best if you have both trust and like.
Best of luck. A good Realtor will make it fun.
