very "red" county and am surrounded by a lot of "rich reds" down here in Florida. I actually live VERY close to Ft. Myers and even I was surprised by how badly they're doing.
Sarasota is feeling a lot too, BUT there are a lot of snow-birds down here right now! But many, many houses up for sale on Casey Key, right across the Intra-coastal from me! My son works for a VERY famous tennis person and she just sold two of her places on the Key for what I can only say was a "steal" for the buyers. There are quite a few famous tennis people who live around here.
Anyway, I had been in the houses many times and fell in love with the one she just sold! If I had any money I would have snagged it myself, but it was most certainly out of my price range, even at the very low price! I actually was cleaning the houses when they knew prospective buyers were coming for a viewing, that's how I got to see the places up close and personal!
I don't feel I should go into the specifics regarding the prices, but I really liked the house that just sold... A LOT! I bought a very huge Bar-B-Que grill with a refrigerator built into it for "like cheap!" It's stucco with a tile top and all stainless steel, about 5' wide, 3' across and 4' high! Some have told me it is worth around $5,000 or more, I don't know... but I didn't pass it up! What I paid doesn't come close to what I'm told it's worth!!
That was "off topic" I know, just couldn't help myself. Even though I think this person is a Democrat, there are MANY Repukes here "dumping" 2nd & 3rd homes!!! Seeing this happen is actually making me more nervous about how bad the economy really is.
Obama HAD to do something because of what he inherited, but I worry that his neck is on the chopping block now! We can only PRAY for some real stimulus!
