There is a great The Villages FSBO website (sometimes a pain to navigate but you get used to it). We arrived in late Feb 2012 from Massachusetts. Put our 'possessions' in storage and began the 'hunt'.
I had checked FSBO, my MLS website, The Villages website (new and preowned), the Daily Sun and of course Talk of the Villages on a daily basis since August. We knew we were moving to The Villages - we were prepping the MA house to get it on the market.
To cut to the chase - We did our homework; so when we seriously started looking we knew our home when we saw it! We moved in on March 5. So explore all options, come and rent but DO NOT BUY if not ready. Your home will be here when you need it to be.
