Thanks for the info! Btw, what vibe is the area around lake Sumter (Virginia Trace, etc). Curious because I’m renting there.

I don’t know the breakdown of MLS vs Villages homes - but you are probably missing 50% of the homes by only working with one agent.

Also, above is correct, you can’t make a decision in 3 days - you’ll want to be here for a month. The place is huge and each “area” has a different vibe.
