After the storm and the lack of damage here my guess is we will become even more of a place to live. My guess is houses will have another surge in prices like we have never seen before.

If weather drove real estate prices, no one would live in all those free New Orleans' homes and houses in San Diego would start at $10,000,000.

There is no guarantee when and where the next hurricane will hit...so no.

If it weren’t for the winters in coastal New England I’d be out of The Villages in a minute. So I’ll just need to suffer in The Villages Dec thru March

What a sad thing, plenty of other places to live than here. Why be so miserable.

Being happy is a choice. Some people choose not to be.

OMG.....what is to suffer? The Villages is the absolute best place to live, especially with the glorious weather we have in the winter months.

And probably one of the safest places I have lived.
We are probably in one of the best places to be during the hurricane season here in Florida.
I do miss the ocean though.

We have never lived on the ocean and never will but we enjoy visiting and walking along the board walk. We are not "beach people" so I don't miss it in that respect. I much prefer pools where I know there are no sea creatures to fear.

Hurricanes become tropical storms as they move inland. That is old news. So, I see no reason why this storm would suddenly make people want to move to north central Florida.

There is no storm surge to deal with in north central Florida. If I had to deal with losing a home to storm surge, I would certainly move inland.

idk about price increase. The bubble takes care of that. Saying that i believe your right that many will look inland who might have considered the coast

I think you are absolutely right. I also think rentals will be in very high demand as a result of the hurricane.

if a category 5 slammed into spring hill , which is 44 as the crow flies miles as opposed to fort meyer 147 miles away, it would track northeast right over tv probably as a category 3. Results then ?

You can "if" and "probably" to reach any outcome you would like. Even with your scenario, the damage inland would be far less than the damage at the coast. And any scenario that brings a storm surge to the Villages would lay waste to almost all of Florida.

If you’re that miserable here, go somewhere else. Maybe back to New England? Just a thought.

California would be a good place. Oh, wait. Earthquakes, wildfires, San Fran, boasting of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the country, the Tenderloin, perhaps Compton, to go with that nice weather. Go west, young man.

With interest rates skyrocketing to probably 8 % by year end and stock portfolios plunging
I doubt very much you will see home values surge here. Just the opposite .
Those who bought on the top of the bubble will feel some pain as house values will drop,
Still a nice place to live but the housing bubble is bursting here ..

Maybe more to do with the political atmosphere that differs from his liking?

The surge in home insurance will be about a BAZILLION dollars! The Villages is Paradise.

No more blizzards, ice storms, frigid temps in my old New England home, I will take a few storms to be warm in the winter, my friends.

I'm not sure what planet you woke up on this morning. The lack of damage had very little to do with the TV. My rain guage showed less than 3 inches of rain. The wind meter showed max 46 MPH gust. We are not in a flood zone, and we don't live at or below sea level, nor do we live within 10 miles of the ocean. While it's certainly upsetting to that kind of destruction, those people chose to live in a hurricane prone area. When you buy 10 miles from the ocean, at sea level and with history of hurricanes, you are setting yourself up for what just happened. People choose to where they live and are responsible for their own actions. Again, my sympathy is certainly with them and I hope for a speedy recovery. But it's going to happen again and again. JMHO

All those snow birds who now have no winter rental down south will be looking for a place further north or may decide to purchase a home due to the lack of rentals. Home values in TV will most likely go up.

This season will be a landlord's dream. People who lost their homes will want to rent while waiting for insurance settlements and scheduling rebuilds.

If you're not happy in The Villages, you should look in the mirror. The Villages is a beautiful place to live!

how about facts and not opinions.
A category 3 hurricane, easy, hit homassa florida 1950 before the villages was a twinkle in anyone's eyes. That's 37 miles as the crow flies. Just imagine it as a category 5 , or not.

I don't know about a "surge in prices like we have never seen before", but I think it's reasonable to suggest that people wishing to spend their retirement winters somewhere warmer than the northeastern part of the US, or the upper midwest will still look at Florida as a destination.
When they do, the memories of visions of destroyed communities along the coast will have an impact on their decision making.
Current economic factors suggest demand will slow down compared to 18 months ago, but it won't disappear, and even if people would want to be in other, more hurricane threatened parts of Florida, it will be a while before those areas most strongly affected by Ian will be ready to accommodate them.
