BTW, for Freepers in South Florida-—NOW is the time to buy a home. Prices have dropped a lot in the past year and I don’t think they will drop much further before they start rising again. Better to buy a home when the Bell curve of prices are still falling slowly than to wait until it quickly RISES from rock bottom on the other side of the curve. At that point you are competing with way too many buyers who want in on the deals before it is too late.
I’ll bet my relatives in Punta Gorda and Coral Springs love that. My cousin in Punta Gorda especially since she’s elderly and on her own in a townhouse. She’s talked about selling in the past year. I doubt she feels the same now. Her son in Coral Springs is doing well so can handle it.
I’ll be seeing them up here in a few weeks so I’ll see how property values have hit them.
