I also have 3 friends who were steered to the new sections (Villages realtors get paid much more for selling new than preowned) and waited the year they were forced not to sell for a profit, then moved more north.
If you are over 70, you won't find many in your age group down there.
Are you serious. South of 44 is the only place you can buy a new home, they are not steering younger people down here. I was over 70 when I moved here south of 44 and have more friends than I ever had. There are thousands of people living south of 44 that are over 70. Hundreds of people from the northern villages have sold their homes and moved south of 44.
