Numbers don’t lie.
Great job of pulling together data on growth of The Villages.
As Asianthree pointed out, COVID greatly affected the complexity of building homes. But they did build and they did sell.
Golf courses. We all know that the Morse family are long term planners. They buy land decades ahead.
I’ve never heard the timeline on planning a Village. I would guess they’d have to start at least 3 years ahead.
So the 2020-2022 land useage was planned 2017-2019. COVID had no effect at all on their decision making on golf courses.
I’ve lived here since ‘09. When I look at this data, what jumps out at me is Gary Morse. I believe the greatest growth of golf courses occurred when he was at the helm.
It would be interesting to take this same chart and layer in “Who’s the Boss?” Harold, Gary, or the third generation ?
