Help! Where to move in Florida? - GoFuckYourself.com

TheSaint · 04-23-2005, 10:37 AM

Does anybody know areas in Florida that haven?t busted the real estate bubble yet, where you can still get a deal on a house? A further complication is I have a couple of horses on my property where I live now so I?d like to get a few acres, but that?s not a requirement.

For years I have been planning a move to Florida ? someday.

Now the time is upon me and I have been scouting the state and finding that things have changed dramatically the last 2 years ? it?s getting expensive.

I'm not that particular about where in Florida, although I would like to live within 1 1/2 hours of an airport and a city.

Example ? a friend in Boca bought a home 2 years ago for $480K. Its about 3500 sf, nice community, good schools, etc. I called her real estate agent and he told me to get in the same home today in her development is around $900K. That is almost a 100% increase ? in 2 years.

I?m looking for a house in the $500K to 700K range. More and more the real estate agents are showing me what look like upscale mobile homes for those prices, it just insane and I?m getting depressed about it, afraid I waited too long. Looks like the whole fucking nation is moving there.

For that money you can get 40 acres and a mansion in the Dominican Republic.

ft. lau...
although i move the fuck out of here because the place sucked...
if you are looking for an investment though ft. lau is the place.

badmunchkin · 04-23-2005, 11:01 AM

Brandon or Land O' Lakes - both are right outside of Tampa and both have amazing deals still. Tampa is growing at a crazy rate so all the surrounding areas the price of real estate's going to soar in the next 10 years - I'm about to buy now - it's a great investment.

Thanks - going to check that out!

LittleMack · 04-23-2005, 11:43 AM

Central Florida is still ok, between Tampa and Orlando....prices climbing but not as fast as South Florida

CS-Jay · 04-23-2005, 11:43 AM

If you want on the west coast for horses, check out Wellingtion, The Acerage, Royal Palm Beach, and maybe even Jupiter Farms. They are just north of Ft. Lauderdale. And Just West of West Palm Beach.

That's where the homes with the larger amounts of land. But be careful, the houseing costs are starting to level out. And the market seems to be slowing down.

hope this helps,
J

KRL · 04-23-2005, 11:46 AM

Check into Tierra Del Rey or Rio Poco for west Boca horse properties. Prices have gone up. You could have picked up something in there a few years back for under a mil in your price range.

It's called Gipstown or some shit. Don't ask how I know..

Wellington is another place in northern palm beach county that has lots of equestrian type ranch properties.

5 Acre Horse Property For $950,000. Nice one!

TheSaint · 04-23-2005, 12:07 PM

Thanks to all. We were in Wellington 2 weeks ago looking and I can't afford it, at least not horse property. Anything much north of 700K is more than I want to go, and really I'd like to stay under 600K or even less.

I don't know - zephyrhills?

Both of the places I mentioned are well-developed suburbs already but without the Tampa pricetag.

badmunchkin · 04-23-2005, 12:16 PM

nevermind - google is my friend - it's Gibsonton - I don't even know where that is.

"Step Right Up. . .Lobster Boy Slept Here--If you're looking for a true attraction, not of the animatronic, electronic, or supersonic ilk, deviate off the beaten path from Tampa and head straight to the little seaside town of Gibsonton. Best known as "Freaktown, USA," this town of 7,000 residents boasts the country's largest concentration of carnies (people who make their livings by working in traveling circuses and sideshows). Today, these people, once proudly known as "professional freaks," primarily work as ticket takers, clowns, acrobats, and animal trainers, but over fifty years ago, some of them were better known as "The Bearded Lady," "The Blockhead," "The Hermaphrodite," and "The Three Legged Man." At one point in this colorful town's history, the police chief was an 8-foot, 4-inch giant while the fire chief was a dwarf. Gibsonton is also where Lobster Boy (the frequent Jerry Springer Show guest who was born with a genetic condition that caused his fingers and toes to fuse into two digit claws) called home. Surprisingly, the town wasn't very pleased with his penchant for self-exploitation and appearing on trash television. Although the sideshow stars are, for the most part, gone from Gibsonton (thanks to advanced depilatory techniques, the Bearded Lady is now clean shaven), if you're lucky you may stumble upon a bona fide barker who'll invite you to step right up to his mobile home so he can regale you with tales of the sideshow days of yore."

C_U_Next_Tuesday · 04-23-2005, 01:18 PM

yep...gibsonton is it. I knew the guy who owned the carnival . Canies are a blast to party with..they set up the rides in the trailer park where the ride workers lived on off season and let their kids play on it.

Verbal · 04-23-2005, 03:11 PM

Check out the areas between Tampa and Sarasota ... Like the Apollo Beach area(s). You should be able to pick up some serious property out there with that kind of cash. I know the Tampa area very well, lived here most of my life. If you have any questions or need advice on a reliable Realtor, let me know. salesATbedroomgraphics.com

We are looking at Ocala It is very horsey. Look on Yahoo Realestate that is what we are doing daily.

DateDoc · 04-23-2005, 04:57 PM

If you are dead set on FL make sure you are near the Atlantic or the Gulf. Vero Beach is nice. Pretty much anywhere between Vero and Daytona is undeveloped (when compared to So. FL). Also check the Gulf Coast out. Some nice places around Destin in the Panhandle. Between Sarasota and Naples is beginning to boom also. If I were to move back it would be to Longboat Key off of Sarasota.

candyflip · 04-23-2005, 05:00 PM

I lived in Orlando for three years and loved it.

I'm in the process of setting myself up to live there in the winters and spend summers back north.

quant · 04-23-2005, 05:03 PM

I'm moving to South Florida later this year and am looking to buy a house somewhere near Boca or Ft Lauderdale. But unless I spot a great deal I probably will hold out until the real estate market levels out a bit. I'm sure in the next 3 years Bush can do a lot more damage to the economy, so I'm thinking it'd be best to buy right before the world over rejoices when we elect a new president -- the beginning of recovery and the start of another bubble.

Did you check out Jupiter Farms? It's a bit cheaper than wellington as it's still an up and comming area. It's also closer to the beach. I was looking at houses out there and ran across a nice place on 2.5 acres with a barn that has 2 stalls. Price was right around 650-700 I believe.

dude chill theres alot of stuff out there - for the money you have youll be able to purchase something twice the size as you would in broward if you go north towards n palm beach, jupiter, martin county, port st lucie, shit orlando and the surronding areas - and theres properties that can accomadate your horses too

the popular broward county area and basically everywhwere else is going nuts but if i were you i would buy a property north - WHY?

some people may take what i say the wrong way - white flight.

but there is and have been ALOT of people from dade county/maimi moving north into broward- broward used to be miami's suburb - no longer the case -

so because of the real estate boom in south fl central is now booming because now palm beach and the counties above it are becoming the new burbs.

I'll tell you the best thing to do is to short term lease a house or condo and take your time finding the just right community that feels comfortable to you.

Hey WiredGuy,

I am visiting Fort Lauderdale right now and loving it. The beach life, sun and action is great. I am looking at real estate next week. I am willing to get a smaller place in exchange for it being closer to the beach since I wont be spending a ton of time locked up at home like I am in the middle of winter in Toronto. I am a bachelor so the single life is what I love, I'll probably get a condo within a 10 minute bike ride to the beach. I'll spend the winters in FLL and summers in the Tdot

That's exactly what I'm looking to do as well, except I want a place in Waterloo instead of the downtown TO area.

We drove through Jupiter Farms last August on the way to Internext. It was raining and the whole development seemed swampy. I am sure it is nice when the sun shines though.

In orlando it is a serious seller's market. Prices have sky rocketed since the hurricanse, yes, believe it or not. Many realtors do not even bother to put up for sale signs, homes sell before they can be installed. No shit

suesheboy · 04-24-2005, 02:30 PM

I live in Boca (15 years now) and LOVE it.

For the horses try Parkland, and Wellington, and Royal Palm.

Further north Jupiter and Tequesta, Ocala is great horse country but VERY hot in the summer.
