I don't think I agree that The Villages homes are of poor quality, and the market determines the price...perhaps subject to some manipulation but fundamentally, it's still the market. I think The Villages homes are well-constructed and I really have not heard the opposite opinion before. But that doesn't mean it hasn't been said.
I believe that demand for homes in The Villages is going to be steady and even more going forward. 10,000 people reach age 65 in this country every single day. This translates into millions of new retirees in the next few years. By the time that all the Baby Boomers are retired in 2030, greater than one in five people will be 65+, and the number of those 65+ will be greater than the number of people under 18, which I don't think has ever happened in history. This demographic change is a certainty, and as long as this remains the premiere 55+ community in the US, The Villages will continue to sell many homes and continue to grow.
