Through various media and other reports, TV development is planning their growth on the future retirement demand of the US residents. . general concept, not to be nit picked. .
But it appears that they are anticipating continued huge growth numbers, along with other developers along the rural parts of the Florida turnpike. Seems this is the chart at which they are looking, and trying to meet the demand. . which is a $%^&load of our friends and neighbors potentially moving here. ![]() |

It means property taxes, insurance and cost of living all are major factors. The latest inflation wave has caused some to put off retirement. In some cases here, retirees right here in the Villages have been forced to return to work.

Can we make those 7 fill out a form promising to behave once they get here? Asking for a friend.

I heard that the majority of folks moving here (80%) pay cash for their home that’s why homes are still selling here even when interest rates are higher. IMO, paying cash for a home here is not a big deal for most people coming from NYC/LA/San Francisco, because our home prices here are a rounding error for the price they just sold their home for.
Personally I’d like to see our home prices be double what they are now (our prices are fairly cheap for a home compared to most other cities except for rural areas) to keep our standard of living higher so you know if a person moves here they can afford to maintain their house. There are hundreds/thousands of 55+ communities in the country, but right now and for the foreseeable future, we have a mass exodus from a lot of these states to Florida, Tennessee, and other states so there won’t be any problem getting new people to move here for many more years. |

Many are retiring early because of layoffs as well. When you get to your early 60s good luck finding a good full time job in your skillset. I am finding that the case.

Same reason why Belicheck sin't getting a job either. |

The peak birth year for babyboomers is not 1946, it is 1957.
When you track this it is easy to understand why there is a building boom. Factor in some understanding that retirees for the most part do not move imediately after retirement and it is easy to forcast several years of growth. And of course the birth numbers for the years following 1957 don't marketly drop... |

A friend mentioned that it's great they are building to accommodate all the boomers retiring, but will this glut of homes be needed or afforded by the next generations?
