Rclco mid year sales report for over 55 communities
The mid year report for master planned communities are out for the first half of 2019. The villages is still the leader of sales. They had 1000 home sales for this period. But that is 10% lower than last year. Since the Villages does not take part in the survey the number is an educated guess. It would be nice if they were a little more forthcoming.

If one reads the information in this report's data table one will see that the number for The Villages is little more than a guess. Therefore the validity of the 10% statement by both the original website and the OP mean absolutely nothing.

I expect sales of new homes to be better when the golf cart bridges are completed over 44, The Turnpike and commercial stores are established in the new homes area.

And when they get some restaurants down there. They are trying to make do with the roach coaches. Better than nothing I guess.

What they are trying at the pitch & put is a different model. Drinks and a place to sit with a mobile restaurant that can be changed out easily as tastes change, and the ability to increase the capacity when events call for it with no additional costs incurred. If the weather is bad or business is slow they (The Villages) don't have to incur a loss on a restaurant staffing and food costs. I don't believe this is a short term fix, it's more likely a long term addition, and if it doesn't work out they have little at risk.

I have been watching the southern area just about Daily, and I can gaurantee you they have sold a lot more than 1000 homes in the first 6 months. It is kind of amazing to watch the View lots disappear when they go up for sale, especially in the 55-100K range. Any spec homes with a view go quickly also. Courtyard villas are another good seller. Sales this year have definetly been higher than last. Shocking how much is selling this summer too. I think them actually starting to build the bridges helps, but the price of the homes and the beauty of the area sell things.
On a similar note - there are only 2 new homes left in Fenney...... I will say this, I really have NO idea how they price new homes. Seems like someone is throwing darts at a board. When one with a really good price goes up, it disappears in a day. The other day an Iris on the golf course came up on the site for like $365K. I was like, man is that low. Next day it was sold. Other times you look at a house and it is like crazy high, and it sits forever.... One last thing -what is with the UGLY Olive Drab cabinets they are putting in lately? Do they think we are in the army? I notice those houses don't sell fast. I do really like the new fronts and the fact they put in flooring instead of carpet in a lot of homes. Ed

Grey may be the new color, but the 3 homes we looked at its a NO for us. Grey floors, grey cabinets, and the grayish appliances just is not the look for us in our 60s.
Our boys came down this summer, both looking at new builds, and liked the grey theme, but did think the grey cabinets gave off a less expensive look. Our oldest will be buying there, for the walking and biking trails, zero entry pool, and the less bustle of as he calls the Villages Proper. One is 36 and oldest just turned 50, retail, and restaurants, are not important to the new gens moving here who shop online and have groceries delivered. While both play golf they prefer a quick executive rather than 4 hours on a championship. Running, biking, hiking are the active lifestyle they both prefer |

Grey is not the new color. It has been around for a number of years and is already on its way out. The look in Fenny, etc., is a wonderful contrast to that of the rest of TV. Had I been younger, that is where I would have bought. I love seeing something different develop and that area will boom! |

Yep. Grey is now an old color - pun intended.
