That CYV at Lake Sumter maybe purchased for $730,000 if the sale went through. Look back at his stats. CYV on a golf course also go for more than his average.

What was interesting and may be useful all of the categories listed had an average less than 100%

I bought at the highest in 2006. I haven't made an effort to see what market value would be set but based on what is advertised on comparable prices I don't believe I have a sufficient equity gain. The market may be stronger here but it still is affected to some degree by the national market.

The Villages is not immune to swings in market price. I lost a tun in Georgia selling in 2009 and knew I would, but the Villages was bottomed out in 2009.
I gained my loss back whe we purchaced. Right now is a sellers market in The Villages. Not a good time to buy here.
