We are waiting until we get closer to his discharge before we do a lifestyle visit where we can pull the trigger on a home purchase (pre-owned preferrably).
However, I am concerned. I'm seeing many many homes for sale. Prices are dropping and I see auction and foreclosures. I'm seeing the developer drop the prices of the new homes down above Eastport, and those new homes which are going up are going to dilute the market.
Is there something I should know about before we decide to make TV our permanent home?
Please no flames or do I wish to start any negativity with my post; I am genuinely doing my due diligence and research.
Thanks and Regards,

IMO housing market way over priced right now due to inflation, lots home for sale everywhere trying to cash in. Average home for what I can tell in villages well over 300K for entry level resale models. Buying new add around 80K for entry level. Course price goes way up for bigger more expensive homes, have almost doubled their money? IMO very few loose anything when selling house in villages? There will alway be houses for sale and foreclosure’s in areas this big.
Some people die and house sets in escrow or they’ve got reverse mortgages and exhausted all money to stay in house. Then, there ones that have to or plan moving every couple years to in rake profit. Add few that move to be close to family in their final years. IMO it’s no different in rest of Florida. I would never move to coast, north central Florida pretty safe compared to coastal areas.
Living in Florida their low risk of man made sinkholes/ground collapse due to leaky pipes or construction disturbance. But being you’ve lived in Tampa you know this already?
