It is VERY LIKELY. Most homes in the Villages were bought many years ago. The Covid boom doubled the home values and then some!

Currently, this may be difficult. Inventory has risen tremendously in the past few months causing price reductions. Just a year ago, sellers were cashing-in, BIG TIME. Timing is everything.
