The key to purchasing a condo on the coast is due diligence same as purchasing any property. Six years ago we invested in one where the HOA had a million dollars plus in reserves. We only wish we had bought the only other one for sale at the time. The condos in our complex are selling for over twice as much today. I think they are overpriced just like many resales in The Villages. Six years ago they were a good investment. It’s all about timing and location location.
