Me too!  :biggrin:  The south of 30A and view part might be our problem.

That buys you a hotel room with community laundry facilities on the north side of the highway.  But, it does have nice views.

Actually floors 2-4 have great views, unfortunately that first floor view of the parking lot isn't so appealing.

I know of a house, close to the Bay for a little more than that -- views of trees.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.  We recently looked at a 1 bedroom south of 30A with a gulf view listed at $199,000.  But I'm convinced prices will fall further and I am in no hurry.

Hey---this is north of 30A but still 10 minutes from the beach..
[url]www.plantationatsantarosa.com[/url]
We just bought a home there. Prices are a bit more than 150,000--more like 199,900. But its a great deal on NEW homes. Plus they even have a no loss of home value gurantee....so if my home is appraised for less than I bought it at in a year--I actuall will be paid t7hat money, well up to 10,000 but I dont think the market will drop that much., Or 20,000 for two years. These builders are being so creative now a days!

My30A,

If you're interested in Plantation after a walk-thru, have your $150,000 in 75 straps of $100s in a briefcase...slide it across the counter at the sales office, pop it open and say you want "one of those" <pointing to the house> for "this" <pointing to the briefcase full of cash>. Before they get a chance to answer, give them your business card and tell them they've got 24 hours to call and leave a message to accept your offer--otherwise the price goes down by $2000 (one strap) per day for the next week, then the offer is off the table. Tell them you've got other properties to visit, snap your briefcase shut, take a lollipop out of the jar, wish them good day....and walk away.:cool:

(If the builders can be "so creative" so can the buyers. ;-))

Not a problem in Florida if you've got a concealed weapons permit and packing heat.

it could be a problem if you get pulled over by the police. By law, they can confiscate an cash amounts over $10,000, without cause, because you could have acquired that money via trafficking illegal drugs.
