Default When to buy in TV

I have a question for all of you who have already purchased a home in TV. My wife and I are set to retire in 10 years. At what point did you buy your home in TV and why then?

For example, as I have read on TOTV, some people sell their home up North first. Some buy in TV first then sell up North. Some buy in TV within 2 years of retiring, and some 5 years or more.

I would like to buy soon, as I believe the market is good for purchasing with the great interest rates. But at the same time I do not believe with all the extra fees involved in TV that it would be a very good investment over a 10 year period. Although I do believe if you are going to buy and not resell it could be worth it to get the head start.

I am interested in your experience with purchasing in TV and why you purchased when, meaning at what stage of retirement.

Thank you in advance for your sharing of your experience.
-Kevin
