Curious to se the results of your survey. Good idea! Would also have liked to have the answer to how many are full timers v. snowbird owners.

[ConeyIsBabe]

I was wondering the same thing but I also would like to know how many full-timers are living in TV, all-year-long ::)

[pwdasher]

Well, we do own a home in TV, but rent it out to snowbirds and then come and go though out the year..so which category do we fit into?..our daughter says we're snowflakes, BUT I can't wait to be a FROG!

[garsha]

Yes, only there 4-5 times a year. Hope to be full time by March next year.

[JohnM]

Interesting results so far...72% own homes in The Villages (as do we)...I was expecting a higher percentage of people interested in finding out about The Villages as TOTV is a GREAT source of information about The Villages...with this high a percentage of TOTV people being owners, the reliability and credibility of information about life in The Villages should be quite high...it has been for us...it will be interesting to see the final results...

We do own a CYV that we can only use 1 month a year plus a few side trips. We rent it at other times to help defray the costs.

Not enough survey categories.

Suggest a new one: "Own home - not occupied or occupied part time"

In our case: Own home, will be full time in July.

[Just Susan]

Congratulations gfmucci. Full-time in July, lucky you! Can't wait to join you. ;D

And some more: Rent Full time and Rent for 1 mo to 6 mos

[Irish Rover]

Snowbird renter for two or three months per year. We checked snowbird. :dontknow:

[784caroline]

I agreee with not enugh categories///you should add..

Own now but trying to sell up north before moving to TV

[TV MAN]

Yes we own our home in TV although like others are not yet full timers. Even though we don't come down during snowbird time that is what I clicked. When we are not there we rent out via Property Management.

Hopefull to be full time in the not to distant future. ;D

Need more categories for folks like ourselves.

Perhaps "snowbird" category should be relabelled "seasonal resident" .. that would include people who summer in TV. Of course you can't make everyone happy or you'd end up with 15 categories and the statistics would be meaningless.

Sure wish more peeps would vote in the surveys .. it would make it more fun to see the stats.

[TV MAN]

Barefoot,

I agree :agree: as the topic read was about ownership and not rental, which I would think some snowbirds are, although I know there are some who are owners.

Can get very confusing. But love to see the results in polls.

[Herb]

I own but don't live there yet. Not a snow bird and not full time resident, possibly a wanna bee.

[scottke]

We also own and are just waiting for our house to sell and then will be full-timers.* We come and go as we can about every other month and don't consider ourselves snowbirds.* Considering we pay for everything without any one renting from us, I think we are full-timers.

Been in the same boat for three years. Hope to retire for three months next winter and after that, if we can sell our house in the Bay Area, maybe try for six months retirement in 2010. Then do six on and six off for a couple years. Having a paper route is tuff to leave.

[chelsea24]

We own and are full time residents and love every minute of it!

Suggested categories:

Own
Don't presently live in it at all
Live in it part of the year
Live in it full time

Rent
Live in it part of the year
Live in it full time

Do not own or rent

These categories would about cover 95%.

[DickY]

Just as an interesting sidebar, the percentages, looking at only snowbirds and full time show a 2/3 to 1/3 ratio which has been pretty much what has been previously reported.

[gigim112]

We (me & hubby) would like to live in TV, have been looking & looking for the right homes, hopefully we will, cause as they tell us it's Location, Location, Location..and the activities are a must to keep our minds & bodies active.....

[mcelheny]

YEP!
Welcome to TOTV :)

[bsliny]
