In the Daily Sun section A, back page has always depicted numerous new open houses with times and agent representatives listed. For the past few weeks the agents are completely absent. Now it’s only six large pictures of new existing furnished designer homes that are open all day. Any insight on this change?

Running out of houses to sell.
Agents are now moonlighting and earning a fortune waiting on tables in TV restaurants!

We have visited several open houses the last couple of weeks. Agents were in them. Download The Villages app onto your phone. They list open houses, and you can get directions to them. Easy peasy.

All homes here in The Villages are selling extremely fast. I am hearing the same for across the country. There are few on the market and they are being gobbled up. We had a home go up for sale in our neighborhood and it was under contract in a couple of hours.

Extremely low new home inventory and very low re-sales. I would assume the agents are making a living by selling lots rather than spec homes along with an occasional re-sale. I've also noticed that the only re-sales that are available for more than a week or two are either way over priced on on a lot that very few buyers would choose to live. In check The Villages site, as of today they have only 14 patio villas for sale and that includes re-sales throughout TV.

The housing shortage is evident. When we completed our design appointment last week the Villages had more than 120 closings over three days time. If you look at the Villages website, you will see almost no homes available for sale. Houses are moving like gang busters.

House across the street sold before it was listed.

At this moment, there are only 28 new homes/villas for sale.

Download the Villages app then use the filter to select new homes, lots, or pre-owned homes. They can't build them fast enough.

And now it's worse. Just went to Thevillages.com and there were 27 new homes listed 14 of them over $1/2 million. There were actually 611 new homes listed, but 584 had sales pending! There were 439 pre-owned, but 388 were sale pending leaving only 51 available, 29 of which were over $1/2 million, 5 over $1 million, and 2 over $2 million. Pretty much substantiates that they are "selling like hotcakes"

No more washers and dryers in the patio villas too.

It's over 35 now.
They have plenty to release.
It's called marketing...............make it look like limited supply.

(I wonder if they are making promises.........."these are the last 35 houses" ???
