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.

I would say Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, basically all Collier county would be a good place to start.

Depends on the beach style you like, and the demographics you seek. Fine, soft sand and shells dominate the West coast, and the water is generally warmer but murky; not good for snorkeling. Very low or no waves on the west coast. The demog. is mostly anglo-American seniors. A rougher, coral based granular sand in on the east coast, but this results in clearer, snorkelable waters, more dive sites, bigger surf, and a greater variety in the demog...Spanish American mostly near Miami, becoming more Anglo as you go up the coast. The Keys have only man-made beaches; the rising ocean (over the last millenia as well as recently) has created a plant based (Mangrove) shoreline with some coral-based gravel beaches in some state parks. But this is where you see huge stretches of blue-green water, and the Coral reefs are a huge attraction for lookers and fishermen. The cost of living is sky-high in the Keys; and the folks are mostly anglo. Key West is totally unique. Visit all three areas, talk to realtors, then make a decision. Check out zillow.com; a totally unique real-estate site that lets you get a google-earth view of communities and their prices for homes!
