We purchased in The Villages 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012and 2015. The villages is a special place to purchase a home. Two were mortgages and three were cash. In short and IMHO, anytime is a good time to buy in TV. We also made two cash purchases up north. Suffice it to say we did well on our purchases but better in TV and in full disclosure lived in all of the houses. Frankly, if we were younger would have purchased a couple more. Due diligence is absolutely necessary when you decide to “pull the trigger”. The harder you work at something the luckier you get.
