Another part of my argument is that money market rates will continue to sink, causing some to want to invest in real estate instead, hoping or renting, for a better return.

The other side of this argument is Villages house prices will remain the same because many buy Villages homes with cash, no financing, and they won't care.

Discussion ?
I doubt it. The market is flooded with 9 months of inventory. Some out and much on the shelf
