Unfinished Business: Central Lake Lots SOLD, Age Demographics REVEALED, & "Perfect Home" Comments

As we kick off 2026, I’m wrapping up some unfinished topics from last year that deserve clarity. In this video, I cover three key updates every Villages resident or prospective buyer should know: ✅ CENTRAL LAKE PROPERTY UPDATE: Remember those premium lots along Central Lake released on December 12th? Priced up to $599,000, they vanished almost overnight. I break down what happened, which lots are still available, and what this tells us about high-end demand in The Villages. ✅ AGE DEMOGRAPHICS BY DISTRICT: Where do younger residents (under 65) actually live? Using data compiled by local map expert Bill Vayens, I reveal which districts skew older, which are attracting younger retirees, and what this means for choosing where to live. Spoiler: The patterns might surprise you! ✅ CLARIFYING MY “PERFECT HOME” VIDEO: After my last video on designing the ideal home, I received thoughtful comments and questions. Here, I address common feedback, share personal insights from hosting family over the holidays, and explain why space for guests or caregiving might be more important than you think.
