Currently it’s a buyers market in The Villages. That is true but still there are many houses over priced and sellers attempting to get twice what they paid for it two or three years ago. Occasionally a buyer will come along with a satchel full of money and offer very close to the asking price because they can and the property is very close to what they want. It’s an interesting real estate market (a relative new buyers market) in The Villages but overall a better market here for the buyer and seller than you will find elsewhere because it’s still The Villages and it’s still a wonderful place to retire and live. Fore.

Small increase or decrease in price returns the home to page one on MLS. It is a trick realtors use to get more views of the home.

Of course. Occasionally also done when a planned update or renovation is completed on the listed house (i.e.- replaced bedroom carpeting or painted interior).

Yes
 

I would sit tight. It isn’t like prices, if or when they start back up again, will skyrocket overnight. They are still moving downward.

Good to know...but do you mean north of 466 or north of 466A?

It really boils down to what you like to do. If you like to shop, buy a house in the northern part of the Villages so you are close to those areas.

If you want to focus more on outdoor activities, there are more multimodal paths for walking and biking in the southern part of TV. There is a noticeable difference in the ages and activity levels of Villagers as you go south.

466 and 466a has the nickname of Between the 6’s.

One need to understand that everyone thinks their area or village is the best place to live. Even if it’s not, nobody is going to admit they made a half million dollar mistake :popcorn:

Middleton is the best in the area. At least that's what my buyers need to know.

That is because sellers think their homes are still worth what they were during the "Covid Boom"...

Those days are gone
 

That boom in Florida is long gone forever. 2% mortgages, bidding wars and competing for a house are in the rear view mirror. Now we have the condo market collapse, 7% interest, skyrocketing insurance and record contract cancellations.

Demand is lessening. A great time for Buy N Holders to buy.

And don't forget the huge bond on new homes.
