With the current foreclose rates and the economy, I am planning a trip to Florida in the next two months and would like to find an area to purchase a condo in. I never thought I would be able to do this for at least another 10 years but with the prices being so low, I want to give it a try. Can you recommend any areas that are no farther than 1-8 miles from the beach, and there has been a drop in prices? I am learning about short-sales which do not exist where I live now. I am open to looking at areas on either coast. I am only familiar with Port St. Lucie. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
