I agree. We are having some work done in our house and the contractor told me that The Villages is telling the contractors not to expand, buy expensive new equipment, trucks, etc. that they expect to be done in the next 17 months. So it certainly sounds as though buildout is close. The bulk of furniture buying occurs when the homes are purchased. Once buildout has occurred, I would expect furniture sales to slow down considerably, lessening the potential profit for the store.
