They were, but I don't think that that program is still going on. When manufactured homes come up for sale, The Villages might make a low ball offer. They usually buy from the children of the owners who are happy to take an offer and be rid of a headache.
When The Villages first began doing this about six years ago, I would see a manufactured home removed and a new home beginning to be built within a week or so. Now, when a home is removed, it seems that the lot sits empty for months. I can't say for sure but it seems that The Villages buys the home, removes it and waits until they have a buyer for a new home.
