we bought ours at $355, currently zillow at $560, that's a nice chunk of change if we needed more savings for retirement . . .
so the answer is not everyone thinks like you, not everyone has your financial situation, and if you are wanting to move to TV, a resale gets you here faster, if you can afford it. .
have an open mind. .

Well said. We've owned four homes in ten years in The Villages. Our choice, our decision. Many people can't comprehend the thought, I can't comprehend living in one home for years. Moving suits us, we ask nothing of anyone and figure it out....and we ignore the negative comments. Yes, to each their own, it's served us well.
