74. At over 175% of the first count, the results haven't changed much. As long as the sample demographic is random, you could essentially have only 1000 people answering a poll, with 3% margin of error, and represent over 200 million people. This poll isn't random, since it requires membership in this forum in order to answer the poll. It's possible the people most likely to skew the results aren't even registered. This is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that most Villages homeowners who live in their Villages home at least 6 months out of the year, and aren't buying for investments (flipping or renting to others) only buy one home, ever, til they die, amen. Proof! Zero margin of error. ColdNoMore is a statistical genius. I'd put him at the top 93.457% of the genius spectrum. With the expected 3% margin of error.

My hubby and I signed the contract for our fourth home yesterday. This time we're designing and building our "dream" home in Linden. Life is sooooo good, we are blessed!

I play golf with a guy who's on his 7th house; his wife gets it all decorated and is ready to move on to the next one.

83 now, and the percentages have shifted only slightly, and the top two answers are still the top two answers, by the same margin as when there were only 49 responses. The top response is down only by 4 points and second place is up by just under 4 points.

I think you have to be registered on TOTV under a user name to vote in the poll, so if it is trying to be skewed, it would be by those with more than one account... under other user names.

"Now where did I save that spreadsheet/database...with all my other user names and passwords?"


You know who you are.

92 voters now...and %'s holding pretty steady.

Can't see a physical poll through Tapatalk. One so far in ten years. Maybe one more in the future.

My neighbor has a coworker who moved 11 times. One time she bought a house, moved in, didnt like it, didnt unpack and moved within a month.

I know several people who are on their third...for many different reasons. But I know far more who are one and done.

Wow, she must have some clout with him. I can't even talk about changing out a piece of furniture without causing DH angst.

In our lifetime, this is the 12th home we owned and lived in. No we aren't military. We were corporate gypsies.

Two here in The Villages. About half in our small Village of 53 homes, are on their second villages home.

It is possible that we might do it again. We love our neighbors and enjoy our pool. This picture taken yesterday during ANOTHER beautiful day in The Villages.

Gracie...my sweetie...when are you inviting me for a pool party.

I met someone recently that moved to TV over two years ago. Wife wanted a house with a pool so they sold their first house and bought one near me a bit over a year ago.

They are now selling the house because his wife never used the pool in the past year. Buying a house without a pool in Marsh Bend..3 houses in 3 years

Thank you Gypsya. First pool in our lifetime. Lots of enjoyment in past three years, sitting by it and swimming in it.

Here ya go Chi, maybe you can see this on Tapatalk?

As Jazuela so accurately stated earlier (and even with the current 102 voters) the percentages haven't changed much...from the beginning of the poll.
