Default sold NY house, heading down to buy in tv

our sequence of events

in 2006 we had a son living in Florida and when we were visiting noticed the Villages water tower and stopped in for a trolly tour. We were hooked.
In 2012 we retired and came for a lifestyle visit to be sure. Stayed in two other communities and decided our first impression was correct, it would be TV for us

Came back and listed our house for sale and within 7 days sold our house with no contingencies. accepted.

signed the contract today

called TV and MLS realtors today and are heading down next week.

not sure if we will build or buy, we need a two car garage plus golf cart garage, extended would be really good. We liked a number of the floor plans and locations. We are willing to build but will look at standing homes first, who knows what is out there until you look.

so the whirlwind begins. I am incredibly thankful that we cleaned the house out before we put it on the market. We sold, donated and gave away over 50% of our belongings and I know we'll find more stuff.

Wild ride.
