In October, we're moving to The Villages. We've rented a place for October and may possibly extend until November, depending how long it takes to find and close on our own home. Does buying a new spec home take less time to close?

I know the post office here will hold our mail for 30 days, but then what? For those who have been down this road, what did you do about your mail? Can we get a post office box down there?

Any other advice you can share would be greatly appreciated. We haven't moved in 20 years, so it's all like new. Our furniture and most of the household stuff is being re-homed. We're only bringing our personal items, clothing, books, quilting fabrics (I couldn't part with them!), and other sentimental decorative items. We've already cleaned out a lot of stuff so, I think we're good in that department. Anything else I should know before getting there?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
