I am wondering about my timing.
I am attracted to the Villages because of the variety of activities and the friendly people I have encountered on previous visits.
I am looking for input on the timing of my move. I would love to go soon but concerned about the impact of the virus on life up there.
I am living fairly safely here in Vero.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about the timing?
Thank you

The percentage of people in The Villages who have been diagnosed as having the virus is, I believe, 0.5%. That pretty low! Is it that low at Vero Beach?
I’d say, go ahead and buy now IF you see something you love. I did. Why? If you buy a new build, it won’t be ready until next year. If you buy a spec house already built, it will still take a few months to buy and move. If you love outdoor sports, those are available now, and the cooler seasons are not far away. If you like clubs and cards and indoor activities, those are NOT open yet, but I think they will be early next year. Maybe you will have to wait a couple months after you move, but you are already used to that.
There is a LOT more to do in The Villages than most places, so it’s a great place to rejoin the world after a divorce and make friends to replace those who no longer talk to you. (After all, many of us act as though divorce is a contagious disease.)
