rent or buy?
i can tell your struggling with your decision and it's very hard to know what to do. General talk from experts say interest rates may still go down end of year. In 2004 my husband and i had to make same decision only difference was we did not want to rent out our new home. we were still working and didn't think we could swing it. We took the plunge and now we thank God we did because you can no longer design your home the way you used to be able to. All i can say to you though is this, I usually keep an eye on the prices of the homes and the patio villas seem to stay in same ballpark so i don't think you need to panic. As far as renting, it may become more difficult as the villages just bought all these new homes to rent out for lifestyle plan and there are a tremendous amt of rentals. our friends could only rent theirs out for Jan and Feb last yr and this yr not much better luck. If you decide not to buy now, you have so much to look forward to. it's so much fun when you do and the lifestyle is wonderful!! so many great new friends to meet!! Good Luck with your decision. i know it's very difficult.
