Many people advise new people to NOT buy a house too quickly, but rather to rent for at least 6 months before buying. The different Villages all have different personalities and pluses and minuses.
......You need to realize that the "feels like" heat index in central Florida was between 100 deg and 105 deg recently. You also should know that 2024 is going to set the record for hottest year on records worldwide and climate scientists say the future will keep setting records. So, Florida will also be that way.
.......We are happy where we are in The Villages so we have NOT been keeping track of whether property values are rising or falling. In our particular area they are likely rising.

Thank you for the heat warning, but we are veterans of Florida and now live in Georgia which is probably hotter and more humid. One saving grace is having a pool; which we do not have in our GA home. Living close to a community pool is a top priority for us!!!
