South Florida New Home

every company we've checked with says they are no longer insuring homes in south florida.

There are 475 home owner insurance firms in Florida ( http://www.fldfs.com/Data/CompanySearch/ index.asp ). If you are having difficulty find one providing coverage in your area, I would recommend contacting the Florida Department of Financial Services (which oversees the companies) toll-free at 1-800-342-2762.

Hope this helps!

.buyingpalmbeachhomes.com BANK-OWNED. GREAT PRICE FOR THIS HUGE HOME IN TERRACINA! HUGE five bedroom home, barely been lived in! Don't miss ...

Homes are getting a bit tougher to sell here in Canada now, seems like people are getting a bit picky in their purchases so sales are slowing due to unrealistic demands from builders on price consessions. So I'm seeking to go and build in other areas. With the weather about to turn colder with the coming of winter, I am looking to the warmer climates of the South, particularly the booming retirement communities like Cape Coral or Port Charlotte as retirees alway love Florida and I think that these areas could be a great boom to my business. But I don't know what the current housing conditions are like down there right now so I'm asking those who know:

What is the housing market like in the Cape Coral / Port Charlotte areas (or other areas of South Florida). I only have information from about 3 years ago (sales brochures) and from them I am just itching to rush down there and start developing! It looks like a Gold Rush of wealth in that area. Are things still supper-hot in these communities?

I heard from one fellow that things have begun to slow down a bit, that the sales market is still healthy and growing but that it takes a bit more effort and he expects sales to be back to record highs in just a few months. If sales have slowed, then how many weeks do you think it will be before they are back to full throttle? Will it be before Christmas?
I have to line up a lot of credit for land purchases. How are the lenders down there with providing credit to builders? Things are getting a bit tighter here in Canada and I don't see why I'm being squeezed so much, so I want to go to U.S. lenders instead. I remember talking to a finance expert 3 year ago in Cape Coral and from what he told me, even a pet dog could get a $2 million line of credit.

Good God NO . . .DON'T DO IT . . . Home values in South Florida are still in decline . . . right now they are about 40% off their peak and are still expected to decline another 10 to 20% . . . . Our inventory level on existing homes is about eleven months and builders are literally walking away from unfinished developments . . . you literally can't give away a home in parts of south Florida right now (carrying costs are high).

My husband works in finance and I can name two Fourtune 10 (not 500, but top 10) companies who can't get financing to meet payroll. It's just not the same game anymore . . .

The Gold Rush is over . . . We own real estate in Miami, the Florida Keys, Hollywood (FL), and Naples and our accountant can't even figure out how to value the property . . . that's how bad it is.

I've been a designer in Chicago for the past 4 years, but the slow economy brought me back home to Florida where I've started my own design firm. I have a great portfolio and my new business website is set up, I just can't seem to get anyone to look at them! How can I attract quality clients? I've thought about advertising, but am just now sure where to sink my money?

My wife and I are looking to move from central NJ to south florida. Of these cities which would be best for 33 yo parents with a baby in terms of: school systems, crime rates, nice friendly communities, not too congested (traffic), near the beach, affordable newer homes (300,000-425,000)? - Sarasota, Osprey, North Port, Ft. Myers, Naples, Jupiter, Tampa/Clearwater?? Any other suggestions? THANKS

I live in Naples and can't wait to get out...born here and ready for a change..if you live near the water your insurance will be aprox $5k taxes are thru the roof...lots and lots of foreclosures...and nothing to do..not much crime but I am soo bored here and I was born here...ixnay on ft myers..awful....tampa lots of crime..miami more crime..unless your gay or cuban you wont fit in..sarasota seems your best bet or up near the pan handle....look up zipskinny.com its a great sight for demographics...good luck..you can buy my house btw your best bet is to stay in each town for a week and just check it out..thats what I intend to do...naples and sarasota are ok...but insurance from hurricanes will kill you...unless you rent..
