So far, there have been no takers to buy their house, even after they lowered the $189,000 asking price by $10,000 six months ago.

Could be that prospective buyers go sour because of the neighborhood?

Possibly.

In my opinion, anyone who would want to live in a neighborhood that has a Homeowners' Ass'n is an imbecile.

The law in Florida does not permit strict age discrimination in housing. Senior communities must allow under 50 residents up to 20% of the population. There is no protection for white trash, however.

I certainly wouldn't live there. Once I pay MY money for MY house, who lives there and who doesn't is my business alone. Everyone else can go to hell, including the HA.

Before (oops too late already) this thread goes berserk, may I point out that there is probably a lot more to this story than we are reading here.

Dollar to a dime says facts are left out that would change the impression of the story. Why does everyone here distrust the press so much, but then assumes in a short piece like this, they are suddenly giving us high quality reporting and journalism?

Sorry, but no homes are selling in Floria. Its just not that area but all over. I feel sorry for the family as I understand their problems. We have 11 homes in less than 1 block that have been up for sale for a year with no buyers. Florida is for the rich & not for the poor, retirees anymore.
