GERALD.......one of your points about staying put for 5 years and see what the market does...yes that is an option some people have along with the attitude I am not going to give my house away. But if they would only realize by waiting 5 years, they are probably giving up 5 of their healthiest years of their remaining life...and that is ASSUMING things change and they can sell their exisiting house at a price they expect to get.

There are houses in The Villages at all price levels both new and especially resale. we just previewed some new homes with a friend and the prices offered were substantially lower with better views than 3-5 years ago.
The world is changing, and believe it or not this is like a poker hand and for most it is best to play with the hand you are dealt rather than betting on the future.

Oh BTW in 5 years the Villages will most likely be built out!
