North facing Lanai's are nice in the summer. But, as has already pointed out, each orientation has its advantages.

I think it is quite restrictive to only look at houses with North or East facing Lanais. If what you want is 3BR/2BA home on an interior lot, and are not picky about location, then sure get house with a Lanai oriented how you want. There are many homes for sale. But if you have other considerations, like you want a location that is near something or other, or you want a pool, or you want a fenced in yard, or you want a view lot, or you want a big garage, or you want and oversized lot, or you want a 4th bedroom or 3rd bathroom, or you want a particularly favorable price (bank-owned, estate sale etc), or any of a host of other factors that some people want and some don't, then only considering one Lanai orientation will limit you.

There are lots of homes for sale in the villages. But, if you apply filters seeking particular features, you will find that lists dwindles very quickly.
