If there is a chance you could move, don’t.
Buying a home or a lifestyle here is like no other place. I didn’t come here for a monetary investment. Been there. Done that. I’m here for the lifestyle. And everything The Villages has to offer. And in all the years I’ve lived here, I don’t know ANYONE that has lost money here.

Amen to that. In my mind our bond is simply an annual expense that will never go up or down other than the balance dropping annually, I don't see a slump in re-sales, at least not in our village the new listings seem to be sold overnight, I also don't see any major problems within TV, there is more to do here, more food and retail establishments, and a lot more amenities than there were 7 years ago when we purchased our home. You buy what you like, you enjoy your time here and you sell at a profit what more can you ask for.
