Default Construction Update #96 – Is there a new home shortage in The Villages? – 8/22/21

Here’s the latest construction update (#96), it covers the areas south of SR44 and the work going on there. With as much construction that is going on right now one would think there would be lots of new homes for sale, there’s not. The market is on fire and inventory is low. A check of The Villages website shows only 60 new homes available. Considering the sales rate, that’s just over a week’s supply.

Construction Update Video #100 is just around the corner, and I am throwing a get together at Evans Prairie Country Club on Thursday, October 14th to celebrate. All my faithful watchers are invited to view the video with me there at the same time it will premiere on YouTube. I’m still working out the details and more information will be upcoming in the next few videos and on my website 403 Forbidden .

Thanks Don! Excellent and exciting information as always. I enjoyed the interview with a worker, those guys are awesome.

Our thoughts are with you, your son and family during these difficult times.

Any discussion on any topic we must deal with one thing at a time. Reality, is far different, everything happens at once. Sort of a perfect storm. Mortgage rates are very low on a historical level. Inflation is rising. Our population is prosperous on a historical level.
Our population is aging. Retirement to a life of leisure is also a new concept. The Villages? Add to that air conditioning. It was not that long ago. Imagine Florida without
air conditioning. Perhaps a simple explanation of the population growth.

The Villages is truly unique. Everywhere else sales are decreasing and inventory is increasing. Housing boom is over as new home sales fall to pandemic low

Don, I heard in your video your son has inoperable brain cancer. I hope I am not out of line asking if your son's doctors are able to try gamma knife/stereotactic radiosurgery on the tumor? I speak from experience as my wife was successfully treated for 5 inoperable brain tumors with stereotactic radiosurgery. Brain stereotactic radiosurgery - Mayo Clinic
