Default I need help and can't decide what to do

I did the lifestyle visit, my luck it rained and was cold all three days. So I couldn't use the golf cart much. I did look at houses for sale with two different realtors. I thought for Florida homes they were overpriced but it is what it is. I live in Florida now in the winter, I am a recent widower, over 55 but not ancient. I am in excellent health so far and I am very active. I thought TV might fill the gap for my free time. But I just didn't get the fuzzy feeling about the place from my visit. I didn't notice friendly people while I was there. Maybe it was the cold weather.

I think I need to return for another visit. I thought TV looked like Atlantis, so I listed my home in Florida before I did the life style visit. Now I am not sure.

I looked at new and used homes. The new ones had the 30K bond, 134 entertainment but also had a 5000 annual fee for common area maintenance. Didn't like that at all. This info is from the realtor.

I stayed by Sumter Square and I was looking forward to the bands, but the weather didn't cooperate. After I left TV a friend said there is a nice bar in Sumter where lots of singles meet and greet. Wish I new that earlier.

Having regular showings on my house and I am getting nervous that it will sell and I don't have a place yet.

All my friends and relatives keep giving me different suggestions of what I should do. I am confused. I would like to kick this around and respectfully digest any other opinions. What most people that know me do not understand is that my life is different now and I want to do what is best for me.
