Default It feels like two completely different housing markets in the villages.
There are hundreds existing homes on the market on MLS. There are many more on thevillages.com. I get at least four emails/day from Zillow reporting price drops.

On the other hand, if you want a home with a larger view lot in the Eastport area you are in a lottery with about 20 competitors for the privilege of paying $650K-$800K. Homes are sold instantaneously.

I live in a nice Winslow CYV on a corner lot. But, I'd like to upgrade to a Veranda with a view lot. It ain't easy. There aren't very many, and you have to enter lotteries.
