Hi Karen,
We are also in our mid-late 50's. We heard about The Villages from a couple we met on a cruise who had moved from New Jersey and absolutely loved the place. My husband works online, so we rented a home in the old section for the whole month last September. We loved it! Found a home we liked but was overpriced, and just waited.......and put our home in Virginia on the market. In January we had an offer on our home, the one we liked in The Villages was still available and had just lowered the price in late Feb. so we made an offer which was accepted. The next day our buyer's financing fell through. But we loved TV house and knew we were getting a good price so we stuck with it.......just got our appraisal for $20K above our purchase price! We close on April 16 and will move down the next week after that to our new home in Del Mar! Now if only we would get another offer here, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later.
Looks like there will be plenty of boomers and we are looking forward to making new friends soon!
