When has that ever happened???
When I was working with an agent, she basically said when the new homes come on the market the demand is so high "you are going to have to decide in minutes if you want the house". I just couldn't operate that way. Historically impulse home buying has many more negatives than positives.

"Frenzy" is a good word in this case. I was talking to a guy who provides private shuttle service, and he said that in July of this year, houses in The Villages were selling at the rate of 50 per DAY. That was just through The Villages agents; there are outside agents who sell homes in The Villages as well.
I don't know. It sounds like an exaggeration. But he's lived here for 14 years and knows a lot of people, so it could be true.
