That is why relationship to the villages should be analyzed only to the extent it affected the subject and its buyer alternatives on the applicable date.
A Lady Lake address does not automatically place every property in the same specialized market. Community boundaries, restrictions, amenities, fees, and ownership rights should be verified.
