Prices definitely went down from the height of the real estate bubble in 2006-07.
Look at Zillow.com and you will see prices then and now.
Houses both new and resales are selling pretty quickly in The Villages. Actually, the summer time is when most homes are sold, I was told. I bought mine (resale) 2 years ago in the summer - and my home is worth more today (according to Zillow) than it was when I purchased it.
Homes sell quickly if they are well kept up both inside and outside and are priced according to the market. There will always be people who bought at the top of the market and want to recoup all of their sales prices plus a profit. That ain't gonna happen now.
