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.

Doesn’t realize the Fed has no control over mortgage lending rates.
Mortgage interest rates are set by market participants (i.e., the market).
