The three months through May 2026 averaged $345K, firming from $338K across the three months before that.

Buyers had 620 homes to choose from in May 2026, down 25.0% year over year (Redfin). At the current sales pace that standing inventory works out to 3.1 months of supply; convention treats four to six months as a balanced market, which puts The Villages, FL on the sellers' side of that line. 208 homes came to market in May 2026, down 14.1% year over year, against 202 closings, down 2.9% year over year. Homes that sold in May 2026 took a median of 54 days to go under contract, 3 days slower than this market's usual May pace.
Sellers were asking a median of $385K in Dec 2024, down 1.3% year over year (Realtor.com via FRED). Asking prices and closing prices never describe the same homes, so the gap between them reads as seller expectation rather than a discount available to buyers: in Dec 2024 the list median ran 10.0% above the closing median. Competition is measurable in the closings themselves: 3.0% settled above asking, and the average sale landed at 97% of its final list price. 40% of listings carried a price cut in May 2026.
