Exactly! Serene and Georgeous Ocala will never allow the family in.

T.V. is thought of a what could happen, if you let it.
Think of Myrtle Beach! No way!

And for those Disney fans, living south of 44 considerably cuts down on the commute time.
Yes to Disney. A big reason we love living down south.

He also addressed the implications of the aging baby boomer population (who are currently 61 to 80 years old), noting that "they have trillions of dollars" and so they continue to be a force to be recognized. States like Florida will likely see a rise in population as more of the boomers move there in retirement, he added.

“Peek of Baby Boomers are 1957, 58, 59, 60 and 61. These Boomers are not in Florida yet because they are too young. Once they come, Florida will explode”. *

Those baby boomers are 64, 65, 66, 67, and 68 years old now. They are absolutely in Florida, many of them have been here a decade or more already.

If you look on OnX I'm not sure where else The Villages can expand to any further than what is already owned. Cattle companies own 11,000 acres to the south essentially blocking expansion. N, E, and W are blocked by small parcels that would be too cumbersome and painful to buy up.

I'm hoping there still is a mass influx around 2033-2035. I'm looking to cash in on my Fl property. Hopefully the early Gen-X think like Baby Boomers.

I assume you're referring to Buffalo Hide and Cattle Company, which is The Developer.

Huh, interesting. So they must have multiple LLC holdings. Yes, Buffalo Hide has 11,000 acres to the south of The Villages Developer LLC holdings.

It’s almost like they’ve been doing this for 40 years.

People also tend to forget about increasing lifespans. So turnover of property will continue to get slower, requiring more units.

If you take the numbers that other posters have provided, The Villages sells, on average between 7 and 9 houses per day. Every day. 365 days a year. Including Christmas. That's some serious selling! If the average house is around 400K, they're bringing in 3.2Million / day every single day of the year, not including their commercial leases or other business enterprises. Not too shabby.

The villages already has younger retired homeowners. I've met a few 30 and 40 somethings that own multiple houses including rentals.

No wonder the bastards won't return my e-mails or phone calls and grant me access to hunt those properties.
