Welcome, my wife and I just bought in March of this year. We actually found an Agent putting up an Open House sign and followed her to the home. We are in the Northern part of the Villages handy to Spanish Springs and the Sharon Center. We did prefer the older more mature neighborhoods. Now having been in the Real Estate business for over 30 years in Pennsylvania I wasn't a newbie to buying and selling. Florida can be like the old West in my opinion. We were lucky enough to stumble on a home the size we wanted, 3 year old Roof (very important) and a paid off Bond. Very important issues. I don't mind doing minor renovations such as painting and such. My advice do your homework, lots of homework before you pull the trigger and good luck.
