Incentives to Buy
We are seeing more offers such as financial or closing costs paid from 55 plus communities for incentives to buy. Be sure to ask what offers are available. Currently, we are seeing most communities continue to sell out quickly at even higher prices due to shortages of homes.
What is the VIP List on 55+ Community Websites
You can go to the community website of the builder and sign onto what is called a VIP List. If you are on that list, you will receive updates. (Note: If you have a Realtor you want to represent you and be paid a commission should you buy, the Realtor should register with the community before you reach out via the internet. Communities may differ on this as a policy.)
It is best to stay in touch with a community early on if you have an interest. Lower priced homes sell fastest. If you are on this list, you will be notified of when selling starts (verify all information).
Are Prices Dropping at Communities
In your general area you may be starting to see prices level off due to rising interest rates. New home communities are more likely to give incentives such as financing options and paid closing costs or build more small homes. Check with your local Realtor or community to see if prices have dropped in your area. Year-end price offers may lower on select homes to reduce inventory.
What are retirement communities doing now about Covid:
Covid-19 Status: Big Changes! The best way to handle the changes is to call the community first before going. Some communities require an appointment so that they can prepare for the showing.
Increased interaction online
Private appointments with agents are making it possible to purchase or rent homes. You can view the virtual showings on their website and plan what you want to view at the community before going.
Active Communities
While most 55+ communities have amenities for an active lifestyle, see what they can offer in this article:
"Best Retirement Communities for Active Adults."
Lots of Options for affordable housing
Try searching our low income housing and mobile home categories. RV park model communities, also called "tiny homes" are popular now and affordable, and if you lease the land even more affordable. This is especially so for Florida manufactured homes and other low-cost areas.
Seasonal Rentals for Seniors
Senior RV parks can be some of the happiest places in the Snowbird Season Oct-May. Read our review of an RV Park to see the fun that can be had. It's never too soon to plan for the next season's stay.
For seasonal rentals, see our short-term rental page or Florida apartments page. Often overlooked, RV park communities are another option for snowbird getaways.

NAR Update:
The National Association of Realtors has news releases monthly. They give excellent updates on the real estate market and trends. Please consult with Realtors how this relates to your local market or one you are interested in and for advice.
Note: Overlapping occurs when your search fits more than one category. This happens a lot. The remedy is to check more than one category to find what you are looking for. For instance, mobile homes can be found in the mobile home, RV and manufactured categories as well as state categories.
We have a lot to view for just one visit--we hope you'll Bookmark us so you'll come back for more as our site constantly changes.
So let's get started...
