A place for everyone
I think most of these comments are "right on." After about 2 years, many people figure out if they are in the right size/type home for them, and I think since we are mostly all seniors, that if people can afford to move they figure time's a-wasting and why not get what you want while you still have time to enjoy it?
People upsize and downsize all the time around here, for all kids of reasons.
Also, remember that some villages are a lot larger than others - Duval comes to mind - I think there are around 1600 homes there. I'm in a much smaller village - Sabal Chase - and there are never that many homes on the market here compared to some of the larger villages. Largo is pretty small too, and if I'm correct, has only 1 CYV neighborhood and no patio villa neighborhoods. All these factors affect # of resales.
I love our central location as we do things all over the place, but many do not venture very far. To some, it's how close to their doctors' offices, others to restaurants, others to shopping or squares. Some people still go to the squares several nights a week and others hardly ever. Some hardly use the rec centers, but may golf every day. So many differences, so many "right" locations.
