The Villages were very affordable three to four years ago. The entry level patio villas were below 200k, the cottage series were low 200k, Courtyard villas were below 250k and designers were 500k with a pool on a golf course. My how things change in just a few years. Many homes in the Villages are second homes and they are giving way to rental properties as the value and affordability goes away. Six percent a year for 25 years was good, 50-100% in three years is not and must correct or I fear we fifty somethings will be forced to go elsewhere.
