I've never heard nor read of it. I think it's something we should know.

We bought a sold a condo on the Gulf Coast of Florida very quickly.

Bought it after moving down at Christmas time (no room at the inn time with all the snowbirds; not much to rent while searching for our residence)
The year was 1994....end of year.

Remodeled it top to bottom. Moved in during the month of February.
Decided to sell it; moved back to Vermont April 1st due to my mom's diagnosis of Alzheimers (to get her back to her support system and mine).

So, January to end of March? Believe me, that condo on the beach had stringent rules.......but they never prohibited us from selling it.

I'd like to know the details before we buy in THE VILLAGES.

Thank you in advance........
I think it is just new homes and it is to keep people from coming in and buying a home and reselling it right away for a big profit, i.e. "flipping". There is someone who has done this with more than three anyway, Premier Homes.. Not sold them immediately, but buys a NEW Premier, furnishes it with nice stuff including a baby picture on the wall to die for, and then putting them up for sale one year to the date for a very handsome profit. I know this because when we were looking for our year 'round home when we were in our snowbird home in Hadley, we went to a lot of fairly new resale Premiers and the furnishings rang a bell and the villages rep told us that is what what being done when I questioned.
