Have you had, or are most likely plan on having...in The Villages?

A question in another thread made me curious, so I thought I would set up this poll...which is totally official and has 0% margin of error.

[CWGUY]

Almost 15 years ........ 1 house.

[ttown]

31 years...one house.

[Goldwingnut]

It's not about the house, it's the neighborhood. I have great neighbors in my CYV community and wouldn't think of moving.

Have I looked? You bet, all the time, and I've see a lot of new homes I really like especially in the Fenney/McClure/DeSoto/Marsh Bend areas. The new veranda homes are very very attractive because I have 2 Golden Retrievers, just not enough to make me move.

It's been 5 years now and the wife and I agree that the only way we are moving out of our current home is in a pine box.

[villagetinker]

Agree with Goldwingnut, except we have not bothered to look, way too happy where we are.

[Nucky]

It's complicated but one to live in so far but involved in two others with partners and our Primary residence will change one more time, the plan is 2 years, its a loose plan because if a deal comes up a real deal In The Villages Only, See Ya.

My wife never wants to move again so I have to pull the final house off without her lifting a finger. She deserves that she worked hard her whole life. I'll find a way.

Not dead yet, so can’t give a final answer

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

We haven't officially moved into our first yet. We're expecting that we'll be able to "upgrade" once, within the next 10 years. At that point we're likely to stay put. I'd love for our final Villages home to be in the more stablished areas, either near the Paradise rec center where we're moving this summer, or just south of Sumter, like in Caroline or Mallory or Virginia Trace.

Well, so far, it looks like the 'myth' of the average home ownership of 3 is being shown to being just that...a myth.

And as most know, a 'myth' is just...a female 'moth.'

As of right now, with 49 votes, about 65% (2/3) have owned or are planning on owning...but a single house.

A little more than 21% have said they'll own 2 houses and those saying 3 or more houses...adds up to a little over 14%.

Based on this 'totally official,' '0% error margin poll' ...the 'average' is less than 1.5 houses.

In hindsight, I probably should have specified only 'primary residences' and eliminated those who have purchased rental properties...but the gist of the poll is still valid.

Agree, Gracie. Hardly a sufficient number to prove/disprove one's agenda.

I know three couples, personally, who have moved twice. One couple three times (they now live on our street).

That's what I said.

Now 53.

Since March of 2006, we have lived in four and bought one other for investment in The Villages. Currently just own one home here and a condo back in Illinois. Very Blessed.

714 views, only 49 responses, so close to 700 could have moved more than once, but chose not to answer

Those are 'total' views, not 'unique' views.

In other words, if one person visits 10 times...that's '10 visits.'

And the voters are up to 72...as of this minute.

Not to mention, even by your own logic there could be 700 people who 'could' have only had one house...and chose not to answer.
