You specifically want North Villages and its my understanding there has been little change in property value over time. There is reason to think this will continue. - - Check this out with an independent (not Villages) agent, because I cannot be sure. - - I can tell you the market price of my North Villages home has not budged in the four years I've owned it. I can also tell you I paid about what those who owned it before me had paid nine years before. Furthermore, I was told that prices in The Villages did not take much of a hit during 2008 - in other words, this is kind of a "real estate island" where little changes. Perhaps not true of new builds south of 466A. You need a professional opinion specific to the North Villages. Again, speak to an independent agent, not a Village employee who sells real estate here. (They are nice, but they do repeat the company line, which is not always strictly accurate.)
