bargain: Don't Say Cheap--Say Inexpensive - 02/22/08 12:49 PM
I have talked with several would-be buyers who think that the economic downturn has not hit bottom. They think prices will continue to fall and that they will be able to buy a second home in Key West at some future date for a lower price than is currently available.

So, you have decided that now is a great time to look for a "deal", have you thought about this.... Are you planning to occupy the home, or are you looking to "flip" a house? Some of these homes may require quite a bit of construction to get them in livable condition.

Buyers, I’ve decided, are unrealistic. They have reason to be. This is, after all, a time of fantastic opportunities in real estate. It’s like the once-a-year wedding dress event at Filenes department stores, where satin gowns are practically given away, or seemingly so, in what is unofficially called the “Running of
