BUYING YOUR LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE!
Florida claims over 16 million of the United States’ 300 million people. Each year, more than another quarter of a million people will join them. On top of that, more than 50 million people will visit the Sunshine State each year. So what is it that makes so many people, Americans and foreigners alike choose Florida for their primary residence, their vacation spot, or their second home?
Without a doubt, one of the most popular reasons for choosing Florida is the moderate climate. Each winter in America, the ‘snowbirds’ of northern states will choose to vacation during the winter in Florida in order to avoid harsh winters. More and more Europeans and Canadians have begun to do the same.
The moderate climate affords a great number of choices for outdoor activities and lifestyles. If you enjoy walking, boating, birding, riding bikes or playing golf, then Florida is a great place to consider because you will be able to spend a much larger portion of the year outside doing those things. And when it is time for your family to visit you, they will appreciate that you are in the state that is home to some of the world’s most popular amusement parks: Disney World, Epcot, Sea World, Universal Studios, and many others.
Today, Florida offers one of the greatest real estate values in the entire country. In many of Florida’s Counties, Cities and Towns, prices have dropped by as much as 40%-60%. If you believe that the real estate market in the country and in Florida will eventually recover, and there are already signs that it is, then buying a home in Florida today may be a very good financial move. You could end up paying just a fraction of what the home will eventually be worth in years to come.
In this section, Buy a Home in Florida, we cover Florida Taxes, Mortgages, Florida Homeowners Insurance and Florida Closing Costs.
