Yes, there are homes outside the Villages that cost less, there are also homes outside that cost more. That seems to be evidence of a healthy marketplace, not predatory practices or a scam.
It probably was when he brought? Housing has gone up at 100% since then everywhere? Elsewhere even now and not near populated area 500K gets you 10 to 20 acres plus with ponds, out buildings, and land you can offset living on. Even those has sufficiently increase after inflationary years. But, villages often a distinctly different life style in golden years of rest and relaxation. IMO that’s big factor from inside and outside bubble.
