We've been watching tons of Youtube videos, reading forum posts, looking at homes, etc etc doing our research about TV. We absolutely want to embrace the lifestyle and make friends and embrace the activities. 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,

You are or should be aware that the Villages offers packages where you can rent a new home at reasonable prices. Choice of where, how what and when is a personal choice

We do not know you so how could we make this decision for you? Terms of active seniors this place is huge. A sort of Disneyland for seniors, Foreclosures? We've been here for 11 years never seen one. Teasing a little. If you have an intense interest in door knobs there is likely a door knob collectors club here-or you could start one.

Assuming there are at least two involved in the CHOICE, it often helps to write it down on ??????? index cards. Stuff like what is important, interests now, future kind of stuff. Budget. ETC. "Help your son out in the military," Frankly makes me wonder. Will he need further help?
