Predictions Versus Fact
You can be academic and give me every reason under the sun for your analysis, but what is, is what is. Home prices have dipped 12% in The Villages and there are more on the market than at the beginning of the year, that isn’t a prediction. What will happen next? That would be a prediction. Pragmatism is accurate while everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
If the Fed raises rates, if more homes start to sell at a lower mean per square foot, then the slump may be here for a while.

The housing market crash of 2008 hurt south florida by as high as 50%. Our area The Villages only went down 10-15%. Our market is very unique so stop the worry.

Subprime mortgages happened from greed—by lenders and buyers. Lenders loaned buyers far more money than they could afford to repay, and with less money down. That isn’t happening now. Buyers thought they were going to make killings buying and selling houses and accepted stupid risks like balloon payments they couldn’t pay without selling their houses for whatever they could get. I don’t think that is happening now, either. So I think we will be okay. |

I’m not an expert and Citrus Grove may be different than say a community north of 466, but I am going off what a few sellers initially asked for their homes and what they had to settle for when they sold.

They sure are, and when the masses lose faith in their institutions (as I have comment before), it is NOT GOOD. PERCEPTION is everything in how secure a society "feels".

Comparing asking prices is meaningless. Comparing SELLING prices is what matters...

Given the way they have been mismanaging the economy would not expect anyone to think that, even you.

By 2009 OUR area was down around 40%. And stock price drop was a catastrophe nationwide.
