Boogie, that is why I said VLS pre-owned homes. I do track MLS as well and I try to gather what I can about FSBO. My data has 100% of the VLS re-sale market, probably 90% of the MLS market and maybe 50% of the FSBO market. I do nothing with the Villages new home market. The data tracks almost the same in VLS and MLS which is 85 to 90% of the resale market. As to your comment "a lot of homes on the market", based on everything available it is still a very small % of the total when compared to other markets.

I responded using VLS resale homes as that has proved to be the most consistent view of the market place. Think of it as you wish, I stand by my original analysis.
