Sometimes I think that outside realtors who can't sell the new homes are jealous of the Village realtors. I haven't heard or seen any drop in prices.

Looking strictly at homes that sold after 1/1/23 and were again re-sold in 2024, the average price increase was over 18%. True, this is a decline from the wild increases we were seeing before 2023, but if you can re-sell your home after a year and make 18%, I'd say you're doing pretty well.
Both Zillow & Redfin estimate resale homes in The Villages have declined in Selling Price, between 12-15% since the peak 3 years ago. In a huge % of cases, Zillow won't provide a Zestimate of current value, because of a lack of sales data and the volatility of the market.

If your home selling price depreciated by 15% in the last 2.5 years, when you add in a 5% Broker's Commission to sell it, you just lost 20% of your value.
