Default Moving to the Villages

Our House sold in 5 months. The movers packed today and we leave tomorrow from Michigan for TV to our new CYV in Hemingway.
After a Lifestyle visit last September and again the end of June we purchased then and closed July 3.

Although we haven't posted often we have been following this forum for the last year. As everyone says, resident and wannabes, everyone has provided great information to make the decision (the great, good and bad information about TV). With your help I feel we made a great informed decision. Found out every question and concern we had was answered or addressed sooner or later. Zcavemans thread was very helpful, Thanks.

We arrive on Tuesday the 22nd. As soon as the moving truck arrives the fun begins.
Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

That's great news--congratulations and welcome!!! Though we are snowbirds ourselves, we go to the TOTV luncheon at Crisper's (in the Publix plaza on Route 466) each month that we are there. Come and meet new friends, some of whom are likely old friends from TOTV! While there are problems anywhere, there is so much to enjoy here, and you will not regret your decision!

We also just bought a CYV in Hemingway and are from Minnesota!! Must be a Northern invasion. We close end of July, but will be next year before we retire and move. Hopefully can sell the house in Minnesota next spring. Can't wait! Good luck.

Hope your homes sell. We didn't think ours would sell so quick. There is hope in todays market, we got lucky in Michigan where economy is as bad as reported. A lot of people seem to be leaving Michigan, too. We hope to be moved in by Wednesday.

You will love it here. We moved from Michigan to TV in late December. I wish we would have found TOTV before we moved down. A lot of questions are answered when asked and lots of friends are made. Enjoy

Thanks for the well wishes, Gander. Hopefully ours will sell soon - but we've decided life is too short (and being we can financially swing it), so we want to be in TV NOW. Looking forward to meeting you and everyone on TOTV.

Congratulations Gander. And all good wishes for a safe and easy move to a wonderful new life in TV. We haven't sold yet but are hoping that some of your good luck rubs off on us and we can join everyone in TV soon.

Just bought in Hadley on Hackney Way. We close on 8/4 and will be moving in that day. We cannot wait to move in and begin enjoying our retirement in TV.

Welcome to the "Hood". TOTV members Gracie Girl, Donna, Kathie, and myself are there or will be soon. If you see a person being towed down the street by an Irish Setter that'll be me.
