I've been watching as the new homes in Richmond are released, partially because they're close to us, and just out of curiosity to see how fast they sell/what prices they are going for. This isn't like an investment firm swooping into a Patio Villa neighborhood and buying up a block of homes to either flip at the 366 day mark, or set up as rental properties, or both. This also isn't like the peak COVID craze. The high prices and large home sizes don't seem to lend themselves to quick flips, although maybe Richmond is still just that hot.

Does anyone know DEFINITIVELY why The Villages didn't just build out all of Richmond at one time?
