Default expectations and housing cost going up

I think some of the issue is how does the price, size of homes compare to where you are coming from. We are from Fort Wayne Indiana, the homes are ver,y very inexpensive and very, very good quality here in Indiana. Currently we live in a 3,000sq foot Villa (free standing home with maintenance taken care of) on a golf course....the rooms are huge! When we sell, we will be lucky to get $170,000 for it. We know when we come down we will be getting less house and paying more...the question is how much more?

It is so hard to sit here and wait until the right time to move and all the while the house prices are going up and up in The Villages. Who knows what we will be able to afford by the time we can get down there.
