Not everyone is in a position to do that. It's one of the many reasons why people move from one property to another in the Villages. We buy what we can afford, at the time we have to decide to move from "outside." And at some point, we might be in a position to afford something else, and we do so. Again, it's just one reason. But it is a valid reason.
We knew we'd be here eventually. We just weren't planning on being here so soon. Our next dwelling will -probably- be a smidge larger. Maybe just 90 square feet, big enough to accommodate a nice-sized laundry room inside the house instead of outside of it. And possibly a slightly wider driveway (maybe just 2 feet wider, really not much) to accommodate our two golf carts, compact car, and pickup truck without feeling the squeeze, and still have plenty of room for a little picnic table near the door.
We're not talking about huge changes. But ours is a 35-year-old manufactured home, and we'll be making upgrades to it soon. We might end up ripping out the side wall that backs up to the shed, and finishing the shed to make it a legal indoor room instead of an outdoor shed. But that's not for at least few more years.
Meanwhile, we're enjoying what we have, because of its location and the overall feeling of the neighborhood and rec area.
