Your 30% seems high. If true, it is not a good scenario. This means Villagers are buying the majority of new homes in the south. Sooner or later, that bubble is going to burst.
Every released build lot sold in first five minutes, some lots with the 6 figure premiums of the old days.
Or new village has 43% moving from northern areas of TV. We sold our 15yo home that had a balance of $12,000 on mortgage and bond. Taxes we were $5,682.

We now have a new house, yes a bond that we will never pay off, a beautiful view, and taxes close to our old house. We wanted away from the high traffic, retail, and yes the older residents, that were our parents age, set in their ways,

Now we have high energy neighbors, enjoying every moment, instead of rolling up the sidewalk at 6pm
