I don’t have a “crystal ball” but for all the reasons cited in the article and adding The Villages (TV) specifically to where prices are going, I think prices will not go down or even level off for a couple of years. A lot of people still want to move to a warmer climate after they retire. Florida, Arizona, North and South Carolina, and Texas seem very popular places to live these days. Not to mention lower taxes in these States. However, taxes are also likely to be higher in these States in the future too. TV has gotten more expensive over the last fifteen years. The dream of retiring here may be beyond some retirees income than it was fifteen years ago and that is understandably sad.
