You better buy now----prices are going higher and higher. I believe some are 50-55 year olds buying and they are not retired yet. Maybe a "bubble", and then again, maybe not. I'm predicting a leveling off after build-out and then a downward trend. Most could care less---one way or the other!


I think how values hold after build out will depend on how well the various amenities are maintained.
