The question I have is a broad one but based on a reference to something I have heard repeated many times.
“The average villager moves ‘x’ number of times”.
Just wondering if it’s upgrading, downgrading, area, etc.
My wife and I are in our late 50’s and are ‘struggling’ with shopping for the right sized house.
Do most newbies upsize from a courtyard or patio or do they do a lateral? Do ppl regret the large designer purchase and are happy in a modest home?
I known this is an absurdly open ended question but perhaps I’m looking to spark a convo with others who changed their minds after living there a while.
Thanks

I agree you should rent a couple of times in different areas. I rented in the northern part twice. I liked it and decided to buy new. They took me to St Catherines and it was jarring having just spent time in the well established areas. I was looking at Patio villas. I quickly said no….. and left. Then I went online and started looking more. I decided I wanted a courtyard villa because I’m private and I have a dog. So, I bought new, in the undeveloped area without even seeing it in person because they were selling so fast. I LOVE my house and this area. I’d never leave here for another home within TV. I think I’ve been north of Lake Sumter Landing twice in 4 years.
