Your available population (market) for age restricted housing, is 1/3 of all available buyers.

All things being equal, as you reduce your available market, prices decrease.

This is true in most areas, but I know of a specific example in Trinity, about 20 miles North of Tampa. Side by side, comparable sub-divisions. 1 age restricted, one not. The "premium" to buy in the non-age restricted sub-division is about 15%.

Note......I still don't understand the 2 nd sentence in your post # 192 ?????
