After looking at dozens of resale homes in TV over the last three years, and always asking why the owners are leaving, I have found....

The majority seem to be buying a newer, bigger, or smaller home in The Villages.
Many are leaving because of illness or death of a spouse
A few want to move back to be closer to family
A very few seem to be moving in with a child to save on expenses

In other words, most are staying in TV, and most who are not, don't seem to be leaving because they don't like TV.
