Yes there has been accelerated retirement home buying in TV. But look at how the developer develops and sells properties here. The latest village opened up for sale, ST John's I think, the lots/villas all sold in less than a week or so. So if you have been thinking about buying down here, and you haven't come down, met the TV sales staff, have a TV sales contact, you probably aren't going to buy a new lot when they get released.
So now you are looking for what's advertised, and flippers and 1 year owners, etc, are trying to make a mint while they can, so they ask very high prices, and if anyone bites, then everyone is happy. There are a variety of price sensitive and price insensitive buyers. . .
Also, understand that the number of corporate retirees across the country skyrocketed in the pandemic, and they have plenty of money, to move. So the interest and money is vast across the country, realize that they might focus here. . so whomever said, I have never purchased before the boom, we are lucky, nothing special, just lucky. . . And also better lucky than good. . . because I am not good, just lucky. . .
However, asking price and final sales might be entirely different. . . make sure you know how much you can afford and then spend the time looking there. And there will be people who will have missed their opportunity, because they weren't ready or couldn't make the decision fast enough, or are a dreamer beyond their means, and that is just life. . . or they can be very , very patient, rent down here, and seriously look and be ready to make an offer that day. . But if you are paralyzed by analysis, you might just never get a satisfactory opportunity.
