It's TV'S marketing of new homes that brings in prospects for resales. Without hundreds of people coming to TV because of their fantastic marketing programs, I think prices will level off and perhaps even go down a bit. Any Sales Representative that tells you prices will go up when there are no more new homes being built is strictly giving a self serving opinion with no validity. There can be a "bubble" even
in TV real estate.
My husband agrees with you, justjim. I was thinking that maybe a build-out would reduce the supply, but you make a good point; the marketing campaign would no longer be there. Plus, sad to say, there will probably be more of a supply than in a non-retirement community due to our age.

But I plan to enjoy myself and not worry a lick about it!
