CYV's generally sell very quickly so one can only speculate that potential buyers don't want a den, they want a usuable lanai for outdoor living.

I respectfully disagree. The villa we purchased had the screens replaced with knee walls and glass. That room is going to be my office once I/we finally get down there. Hubby is retiring but I will still be working. I do have the luxury of being able to telecommute and enjoy having an office with 2 walls of windows like we have in our NH home.
We did look at some other homes that had closed in their lanai, but there were other things about the villas that we didn't like. Besides, you can't just look at all changes in terms of perceived resale value. Not everyone likes the same things.
