Welcome Cathy! You will find a lot of great information on here.
This is a big place. There are over 80,000 people living here and there are 30 executive golf courses that residents use for free and nine championship courses. There are two swimming pools in almost every one of the 62 villages, one for family and one for over 30 only. JUST for STARTERS.
Why are there so many houses for sale? Percentage wise probably not that many. There are more for sale at this time of the year than at other times. It seems that most houses are sold in the spring, after people have visited here during the winter season and then decide they want to own.
When people move here they sometimes opt for a small affordable home while they snowbird. Then when they move here permanently many will switch to another home, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. We are an aging group and some of us do leave for the heavenly village.
We bought a house two years ago and are looking for another one when we move full time. During that two years the villages of Hadley, Hemingway, Bonita, St. Charles, and Pennecamp were built, now they are building the village of Buttonwood. People are buying these new homes and moving into them.
There is a lot going on and you need to make a trip down here and see it.
I still can't believe how wonderful it is.
Welcome to you. There is a lot of information currently posted and stored too in the archives. Enjoy.
