We are new to the villages and I am not retired yet so getting the house we want is more desirable. Also, it's the excitement of 2 new communities right by us. It is my understanding that we will see appreciation in home value given the early stage of development. We can build a nicer home for less then some of the new builds listed in the Village of Dabney (for example). The appreciation would cover us against a potential real-estate mistake. We understand the bond.
We are bought in on the active lifestyle promise the Villages has to offer. We have taken the tour and spent a couple days exploring. My wife and I love it.
I would greatly appreciate feedback on any of the topics I mentioned. Looking for tips, advice or any other helpful hints. Thanks in advance.

Exciting times, for sure!
If I may ask, what activities are you most looking forward to when you spend time in TV? How do they specifically relate to the village you have chosen?
How close are you to retiring and moving in full time?
Who lead you to the understanding that your property will appreciate? Folks who bought 5 years ago saw great appreciation. Those who bought 12-18 months ago, I'm not so sure about.
What activities you are most interested in, and when you plan on using your Villages home for long periods of time, should be considered. Things like rec centers, pickleball, pools will be there for you. Other things may take longer than a sales agent is likely to have you believe. If golf is a priority, you might have to wait a bit before that catches up. Likewise the squares and the commercial enterprises that make the squares worth the trip.
BTW, where are you coming from?
