I would love to see you find a house in the north with a larger bond than one in the south. When you do, let us all know! We will stand corrected.

The developer lowered prices after the 2008 market crash. Homes EVERYWHERE in the USA lost value. It was not a Villages only scenario.

Is it different in Dabney? Are buyers simply not interested in that area? Or, is something bigger looming? Could it be real estate is softening and prices will continue to fall? We must wait and see.
