Or they have a view and a pool and a hefty bill for pool cleaning and repairs, lawn mowing, fertilizing, etc., and realize they could save $500 a month or more by moving to a same-size house without pool or view. If they have a mortgage, often they can pay it off by moving. There are also people who really love new houses and want the latest styles.
A lot of people have three bedrooms, but never use more than one. A lot of people have two eating areas but always eat alone, or two living areas but always sit alone, or a king-size bed but always sleep alone. They realize they have more than they need. It’s a bit like that old Beatles song “Eleanor Rigby.”
I think it’s healthy that so many of those who move simply move to other places in The Villages. And if you live alone, The Villages (when open for fun and business) is the least lonely place to do it (unless you have a big family back home and enjoy having them around).
