Pathway to The Villages, Florida

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

 

When people ask me about the housing demand in The Villages, Florida and wondering if interest rates or other factors are changing demand I have a standard answer.  Many people have a date circled on the calendar when they want to move to The Villages.  It would take a very good reason why that would not happen like maybe health or family.  They visit, research, maybe rent for a few weeks or months and go home and decide that’s it they are coming.

I hear from buyers telling me in 12 or maybe 18 months they will be here and start the education of The Villages.  Had one person contact me they were 5 years out from coming, now that is very long term prospecting.  For many people the pathway to The Villages has started many years before ever contacting a REALTOR®.  Are you one of them?

Good morning Dick. You nailed it. The Villages is a special place and people have different trigger times. I know a few who forgot to visit before pulling the trigger who moved back. Those who visited and researched made the right decision for them. Enjoy your day.

A strong market for home sellers makes it easier for retirees in our area to sell their homes and move your way.
