I really don't feel that we can truly believe anything we are told, if you check with Trulia once a week and count the number that are sold you'll see that they are still very high. One thing is sure and that is TV is not concerned about it, they are already starting on several recreation areas and neighborhood rec. centers south of Bradford in 2 or 3 new villages, they are not slowing down at all.
I agree. And from today's Daily Sun:
The number of single-family housing permits issued during the first quarter in Sumter County grew year-over-year by about 21.8%, largely because of construction south of State Route 44 in The Villages, according to the county's Building Services Department. The department issued 748 permits over the three months ending March 31.

To me, that's an indication for the pace of building. What you noted seeing in Trulia is an indication for the pace of selling.
