Default There will always be houses for sale in the villages

Nationally the rate of over 65 deaths is 4% to 5% apparently it varies by state and I couldn't find Florida stats on the net. I read someplace that the villages had a lower rate because the people tend to be more active so they live longer and most are pretty healthy and active when they move here.
So using national stats 100,000 people that's 4,000 a year. So if two to a house on average then 2,000 homes should be up for sale any given year not counting those who move back to be close to kids when they get frail. There appears to be about 400 pre-owned on the market most months at the moment but that includes those who have decided to move within the villages.
