It depends on the homes you are looking to purchase, villas are in demand and currently there are under 30 for sale with TheVillages.com. However, there are over 500 designers for sale, some for over a year. I would think you could get a designer for a good price, supply and demand thing.
I too have downsized, in my dreams, from a ranch to a villa and even at that I may not be able to afford the maintenance of 2 homes as I would have to be a snowbird. Continuing to rent seems like it may be the best option, pay and go, no worries.
Also, if you are selling your home up north, you will probably get a higher price than a year ago, so factor in that.
