It's extremely saturated with speculative investors. You can check the property records for any given street and often the majority will be owned by foreigners in South America or Asia, or some corporation. It's been like this for 20+ years.

I don't think there's any valid comparison there to The Villages area that proves anything. The area was oversold and now many people are in unloading mode. Just look at Zillow for that area and you'll see thousands of homes and lots for sale with many on the market for over 200 days.
You can't believe half of what is on Zillow. They have no valid verification processes. Also, there is demand for more secluded locations, not everyone wants to be near all the traffic. As long as people retire, TV is and will be just fine.
