The average middle class resident can no longer live on the Coast because of the cost of insurance and the HOA fees required by new FLorida HOA regulations. I believe Central Florida residents (including Villagers) are beginning to feel that increased insurance costs and higher interest rates are starting to affect real estate values here in The Villages too.
