Not So Happy New Year

I hope this year goes better for the real estate market in Florida than last. In Sarasota County there were 300 yes 300 repo homes between the 17 of December and the end of the month. This is sad news for all those who lost their homes due to being over burdened by mortgages that they can not pay....my husband, Rick, says that I should not write suckie news but it may not be for you if you are looking to move here. There are more houses to choose and I know the prices are better due to the banks holding them and needing to move them.
Florida is great if it is below 50 degrees where you are now.It is balmy and beautiful. You can sit outside and enjoy those lovely screened porches we live for and can't use in the summer.
There was a visitor in church this morning saying it was below zero on the Platt River where he runs cattle and it was a blessing to be in Florida! So come on down, take a look at the wonderful homes waiting owners and bring your pocketbook!
