Two things ---

If you buy now, you can get a 2/2 or 3/2 ranch for well under $200K.

The new ones are a great deal, a bit cheaper.

Re average income here, the published numbers are pretty meaningless. Is the number owner/resident or buyer? We have fully employed single or double income folks buying pre-retirement and snow flaking for a couple years. We have snow birds who are fully employed "up north" for 6+ months a year. We have residents with full time jobs or businesses that they oversee from TV. And we have actual retirees --- hey we don't do no stinkin' work, man!! My retirement and minuscule investments pale in comparison to a neighbor's full time job in Tampa or another buddy's income from a company he still owns and quasi runs back home. But they'll catch up to me one day.
