I think many folks grapple with this question....I'm sure some have enough resources to permanently have multiple homes, but I think many folks have the two homes for a transitionary period when they first retire, knowing that later on they will reduce to one. It also gives you the opportunity to make sure you will love the Villages and it's easy to reverse the decision if you find out you don't.

We discuss when to reduce to one home all the time, but we have never contemplated keeping two homes for the duration....it's not a matter of if we will go to one home, but when.
