Time will tell if prices will drop or not. Last time around in 2008 they didn't drop much and rebounded quickly. Time on market is just slightly up for pre-owned homes, but new construction still sells within hours of being released. There are something like 70% cash buyers here, so mortgage rates have minimal impact.

Now, what does the price of eggs, and whether or not a woman who may or may not even live in The Villages passing on their purchase, have to do with home sales?????
