Also TV have been selling 7 new homes and 7 re-sales on average for the last 3 years and only recently went up a little higher. This place is unique and there are still 10,000 boomers reaching retirement age every day and they only need a handful and I'm sure there are more then a handful that have the cash.
Never said there weren't...

We could have paid cash, but we chose to get a mortgage (which is less than what we're making on our investments in that money...)

Once we sell our home up North and move to TV on a more full time bases, we'll re-evaluate. Especially if we decide to buy a small place to keep up ere (where my kids still live...)

But I understand that we're luckier than most, in that we had that option...
