Have talked to multiple new buyers in the Villages where both people in the couple are under 55 that have bought a new home. From what I can tell, there's little chance the sales agents are going to turn down a sale because they're under 55.
Where exactly is your evidence??? It might shock you but you have to show ID to buy a house and there are about 5 other ways to get your age before you close. They do track it. How do I know? When I was 51 I bought my first house here and I asked. In 2014 it was about 8% that were below 55. The other thing
They pointed out is that people age, so in a few years I would be above 55 and fall off that statistic which I am now being 60. And yes if they get to 20% they will stop selling to younger people. I don’t think we are any different than where we were in 2014. Same gripes and misinformation on here now as back then.
