Yes we will wait.. remember all those foreclosures that Covid stopped happening… shadow inventory
At this moment, there are only 17 new homes on the market, according to The Villages app. Good idea that you decided to wait. It looks like people are just buying up whatever they can and hopefully it's something that they really want. Kind of like a land rush.

The Developer is putting in those 'ponds' so they can increase the home price. Our sales rep friend said the ponds look good now due to all the rain we have received, but beware. The Developer will not guarantee that water will always be in the pond. In my opinion, you can have a pond or pond scum or mush behind you house. No thanks.
