You'll be fine. Now is a good time if you are purchasing in the Fenney area. Once the infrastructure is completed, I have no doubt house prices will increase.

Move
 

For about 15 years we lived about 10 miles south of Vero Beach and were on the Beach. Sure you know where that is. Moved here 13 years ago to get away from the lousy hurricanes. Know Vero Beach very well and use to go to lunch there, etc. Having said this I would seriously recommend you make the move. You can control any exposure to the Virus by managing your activities. Regarding your move, the more important and critical thing is location, location, location. We rented a couple of months for 2 years before making the move and finally settled on what has turned out to be a terrific location. Compared to Vero Beach this is a mecca of activity. If you are bored it is your own fault. I won't try to cover what is still available but rest assured it will keep you busy if you want to be busy?? Regarding purchasing a home. You have the normal choice of New or Previously owned. We decided to go for previous owned and picked an area we liked and then started to follow the real estate as it became available. We lucked out as the previous owners bought and lived here 3 months before moving to a much larger home and therefore left a Designer Home. We made a prompt bid and all was excepted. I can't say enough how critical that it is to look for the right location and then decide where to move to. I don't see any reason to delay making the decision since you are going to go to a Village which will have more than you can utilize. Good Luck. !!!:ho:

The percentage of people in The Villages who have been diagnosed as having the virus is, I believe, 0.5%. That pretty low! Is it that low at Vero Beach?

I’d say, go ahead and buy now IF you see something you love. I did. Why? If you buy a new build, it won’t be ready until next year. If you buy a spec house already built, it will still take a few months to buy and move. If you love outdoor sports, those are available now, and the cooler seasons are not far away. If you like clubs and cards and indoor activities, those are NOT open yet, but I think they will be early next year. Maybe you will have to wait a couple months after you move, but you are already used to that.

There is a LOT more to do in The Villages than most places, so it’s a great place to rejoin the world after a divorce and make friends to replace those who no longer talk to you. (After all, many of us act as though divorce is a contagious disease.)

I'd be more worried about the STD's

It’s like The Love Boat. Only on land. We do have Larry the Lounge Lizard

Only if you’re looking for love in all the wrong places

Good...finally others can get out there, also better view of the band. Nothing personal, but come on people you monopolize the floor on every song and that teacher is so distracting.

Did not like it?
 

Then what are you doing on this site?

he who hesitates is lost.

Great place. Lots of resales available now too. Have been here for six years and thoroughly enjoy this place. Do not hesitate. The virus is everywhere but TV has weathered the storm well. Some activities are limited but will get back to normal. Do not listen to the naysayers, they will just bring you down.

You will get the best answers to your question by asking a sales agent. I don't see a tremendous amount of change right now,

Move From Vero Beach
 

MEEH, we moved here from Vero Beach (Millstone Landing) a year ago, and have no regrets. Once this pandemic is over, the abundance of activities will blow your mind.

Untrue, just about everything is open except for entertainment on the squares and rec. center indoor activities are limited. Still have pickle ball, tennis, beach and water volleyball, bocce, corn toss, shuffleboard, outdoor exercise equipment, restaurants, clubs with most having entertainment, etc. etc., Come on over and beat the storms.

Stay there, this place is going to the dogs!

Would you mind explaining that statement?
