A LITTLE SNOW ON THE ROOF IN THE SUNBELT? ABSOLUTELY. WORKING WITH MATURE BUYERS WHO ARE REDISCOVERING CENTRAL FLORIDA HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES- In my market of St.Cloud/Kissimmee Florda homes,prices have dropped so significantly that they are close to what homes sold for between 1989-1992. Imagine a winter home selling for under $50,000. They are and we have them.
As a result, we haveexperienced an increase of retirement minded individuals coming back to the housing market for a variety of reasons. Some are investing in low end housing and are fixing up foreclosed properties for rental purposes.
Many are looking at St.Cloud Florida short sale properties and recognize the value of having a little patience in order to save a great deal of money. Many are cash buyers. Most are snow birds.
Others are investing in property for their children and grandchildren as a way of securing their long term future.
Knowing that the opportunities they had when they were younger,changes in the cost of living, tax structure, and employment opportunities have them concerned that the possibility of owning their own home someday may slipping away for their children and their children.
They are divesting their estates and increasing their property portfolios.
Old fashioned values, courtesy, and good manners are common grounds we share.
