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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Barefoot,

I 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.
