Not at all so. Cost of homes actually has gone up throughout the nation. Perhaps, more so in Florida. My point. Assuming you lived up north and wish to return. You can sell your home in the Villages for more than you paid for it and buy a northern home, similar to what you had. You will not only sell your villages home for more than you paid for it but the northern home will cost you more than your sold yours for.

People are only stuck if they stick themselves. Happiness is a choice. People are happy and miserable by their own choice.

Snow is pretty except when you need to get to work. I still remember my OLD snow blower that ran great all summer but refused to run in the snow. Perhaps, it had more sense than I did. I remember our neighbor from across the street coming over with hot cocoa. I got rid of my snow shovels. When, I got here I bought a manure shovel.
This time was I to DECIDE to move I would take it. It would work fine in the snow.
Northern Ice scrapers. Tough to find in Florida. They are perfect for scraping love bugs off your windshield.

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE.
