Might want to mention thread revival.

ETA, let me know if you need a real estate agent down there. I know someone who's a real go getter agent in The Villages.

... Until they are randomly resurrected 3 years later by someone who is oblivious.

The whole concept seems weird, even creepy to me.
But different strokes.

Seems creepy to me as well.

Retirement for me is/was about getting away from everyone else not moving in with them.

Did they give you a handy guide to all of their lifestyle offerings?

I assume she is as she is affiliated with RE/MAX.

Is that a bad thing to resurrect an old thread? If it is I was unaware.

The bumping of old threads. If you're a posting member of this forum, you should read this

Excerpt from parabellum’s thread linked above:

So, beginning today, the forum has a new policy. If you bump a thread in which the *last post* is more than four months old, the first thing your post should contain is "This is an older thread"

Para’s sound reasoning is in the rest of his post. Of course after rereading it, I was reminded we are just supposed to report a bumping of an old thread without “This is an older thread" rather than clutter the thread with non-thread related discussion. I also didn’t catch that specific wording was given.

No, not a bad thing, but you should mark it as a resurrection of an old thread, to avoid confusion. Put something more or less like this at the beginning of your post:

>>> OLD THREAD <<<

Ok, I edited my original post from this week for clarity. Thanks for the info.

Congrats on your decision to come down to The Villages. Wife and I made the move 2-1/2 years ago and it was the best decision we've made. We built new in the southern end - let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with anything before you get back down here.

Good luck!

Thank you we will be down around Labor Day house hunting for a week. Looking at Courtyard Villa’s or Veranda’s.
