I too, follow the market in TV pretty closely and the homes on a golf course or water with no houses directly behind have gone up in price even more! Perhaps, a bit of over exuberance IMHO. "They" are making hay while the sunshines!
Regarding the first point, I can only speak from my experience but there was zero sales pressure or implicaiton of rising prices. I knew what I wanted and the Villages representative was the vessel to help me get it. He didn't push, trick, or try to persuade us in any fashion. As Gracie said, they don't need to. If I hadn't bought the home I did, I am confident someone else would have. I didn't need a salesperson to convince me of that.

And on the second point, making hay while the sun shines is probably no different than any of us did in our work lives to enable us to end up here. Nothing at all wrong with that for the residents or the developer.
