At this age, smaller sq footage is better for maintanence, taxes, cleaning, cooling and heating. We have downsized as we've gone along the aging path. We no longer need 3,000 sq ft, don't want hordes of visiters staying overnight and love the simplicity of living smaller. I'd spend $20,000 on a patio villa in a heartbeat.

I didn't say it was decrepit, I said it was old. And, it is very old as compared to other houses being sold today in The Villages. Most total sales are new houses, and most of the resales are less than 20 years old.
