Apparently Villagers just don't understand the real estate market and insist the Villages is different than everyplace else in the USA ... it is not.

Residential property appreciates between 4%-6% per year (as you point out) and that has been consistent for a 100 years. Obviously, there are fluctuations, hills & valleys ... but that's the number.

Trying to guess the peaks & valleys to make a big score, is no different than day trading. Some folks do really well at it ... the majority lose their lunch money.
