In another 10 or so years, the mortality and "independent health" tables will kick in big time, and our Villages market will be flooded with homes available for resale. Hopefully the market can absorb 250 to 300 homes a month! That's going to take a lot of advertising and "keeping up the lifestyle!"
Makes sense.My hope is that we have a continual turnover of younger boomers coming in buying those re-sales, but there is certainly no guarantee.
