Living in Florida is finally affordable again!  Watching properties sell for half of what they sold for a decade ago, is a very common sight recently. This is not good news for the sellers out there, but for the buyers, this is your time!

In the Sarasota and Venice Island areas in Sarasota County, sales were up 29% in a yearly comparison during the month of July.  These areas are not only great retirement communities, but a terrific place to raise a family.  Located along the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota and Venice provide opportunities for home purchases on the water as well as inland.

Since home prices have declined and interest rates are near an all time low, purchasing a home in these areas is a prime investment for today's home buyers!
