As a very satisfied and comfortable (in my surroundings) Villages homeowner, way up here in Poinciana, I see what the developer is currently developing, and continuing to plan on developing, having less and less impact on me, and on my "investment". More and more, what is being developed is separated from me by distance and concept. The more that is true, the less impact it has on my current lifestyle and on my anticipated lifestyle and the marketability of my home, when the day comes I or my heirs should decide to sell it.

I believe the marketability of my home will be more affected by things neither I nor the developer can control, like interest rates, and how affluent the pool of buyers may be at that time, which will be due to how well THEIR homes are selling, distant from TV, and how well the investment markets have done for the decade or so prior to their retirement, or their pre-retirement years.

These quarterly reports are mildly interesting, but as for representing anything that affects me, personally, basically eye candy.
