The moving van fees are astronomical. Florida furniture is not that expensive......so yes, will replace it again.
I've actually begun getting rid of our 48 years of books..these past several years..........everything is now on our kindles.........so one less thing to dust.
Good luck with selling the condo...........
My "ideal" would be to buy a house in TV to have something to go to....have it all set and ready.........and then put our home on the market.
Every other time we've moved............we did it in reverse and then would have to rush into buying. Not much of a selection up here..........especially not compared to The Villages.

I agree wholeheartedly. We built the condo before selling the house, and bought the TV house totally on impulse, without selling the condo. Before that it was "Moving With Westinghouse," which involved hurrying up and choosing a place to live without really knowing the area. That is stressful.
But... you will have so much more of a selection here, and you pretty much know what the models look like, and if you've been here before you might be familiar with the individual villages and know what location you prefer. I think it will be easier.
Good luck, Senior Citizen!
