Dear Mr or Ms Kelly (1956),
If you are not familiar with the various neighborhoods in The Villages (covers 4 counties), I suggest you get a briefing by visiting
The Villages 101 The Villages 101 The perfect place to start learning about The Villages "Florida's Friendliest Hometown". Learn about neighborhoods, house rentals, activities, and pointers to the many other resources. Your best resource for renters .
You should start conducting your own online search on realtor.com. Be aware that there is a difference between MLS real estate brokers and the 375+ real estate sales agents on the payroll of Villages Sales.
The market is slowly softening and houses in The Villages are now selling for BELOW asking prices, but still a lot higher than just a few years ago. BTW, as others have mentioned, owners in The Villages take a very dim view of investment and short term rental owners.....
