And Kentucky Blue, if you believe home prices are dropping in TV you have a rude awakening coming. Home prices have been climbing at a very steady rate for the past 11 months. Started last July and been moving up every month. I have thousands of sales data to prove that. Not happening in the rest of the country, but believe me, it is happening here. Sales are up significantly with both new and pre-owned. Days on the market are dropping, down over 50% from a year ago. So if your going to buy, waiting is not a good plan.

I always enjoy hearing about your finger on the pulse of sales here. I too believe the prices are rising slightly. You really track the sales and I read the prices every morning on The Villages site. The price of a similar Camellia has gone up from two years ago when we bought ours.

I rarely disagree with you 12, But Sweetie and I have the prettiest location with the nicest neighbors. AND a west facing lanai. Prettiest sunsets and warm in winter, on the house we paid a little more for than we thought we would. We are so conservative and unimpulsive in money matters. But we LOVED this place and still do.

AND Kentucky Blue, a number of people bought their home during the huge Florida rush a few years back when homes were priced higher everywhere in U.S. We don't think much about making money on the decision to live here, although we are looking for a little bigger place . I think this time we are frogs. Here 'til we croak.
