As one of the first of the Baby Boomer’s and having come to Florida in the last 5 years. I feel that I can give you an informed look at Florida and retirement living in the Sunshine State. I am living in SE Florida in a condo on the beach. What a change from the mid west and I love it. The first thing that I will tell you is that if you decide to retire to Florida, living on the beach is absolutely the best and a must in my opinion as it tends to be several degree’s cooler than inland.. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean and going to bed watching the full moon rising over the silvery sea is spectacular and breath taking. Everyone always told me take Florida is to hot and muggy but I have found it much to my liking as it is never as hot or cold as it can get up north. There is always sea breeze every day cooling you off, the crystal clear water is wonderful for swimming and snorkeling. I hardly ever see a insect as the breeze sweeps everything inland and leaves the beach’s free for long walks without bother. You never know what you will see in or on the ocean, whether it be a beautiful yacht or a large ray , manatee , fish and then the bathing beauties to to distract you for a while.
Living an active lifestyle is important for a long and fruitful retirement. To this end there are so many activities all around us and I cannot think of much that is not available. I love the happy hours at the many tiki bars in the area, many with two 4 one drinks,live music, and food specials. They are great places to meet new friends from all over the country.
This is now my main point to you. If Florida interests you for your retirement please get this —– Now is The Time To Buy Your Retirement Home. Real estate prices have dropped as much as 60% in some areas,in my building the condos have dropped from $450,000 in 2006 to $225,000 now, but in the last couple of months they are selling quickly and the inventory of home have dropped by significantly . Interest rates on mortgages are now below 5%. It does not matter how much you present home as dropped in price or how much you lost in the stock market, take action now to secure your retirement as you are buying your retirement home at historic lows discounts.
Believe this ——–every day that goes by from today on, the available properties will decrease and the prices will rise. You are not the only one looking to retire, remember there are millions of us, and also I can not emphasize the number of foreign buyers coming to Florida, as our dollar falls in value Florida Real Estate is a real bargain to them. Also you are now getting historic low interest rates and please how long do you think they will be here???
Book your travel to Florida ASAP and get your future secured.

I am glad that you are living in an active incredible lifestyle and wish your dreams come true with the bloom in Florida real estate. Retirement along a beach is up on my mind for quite few years now. Lets hope an exciting market prevails four – six years from now, so that i can pursue my desires.

@Mack You’re too young to retire!
Now is definitely the time to buy property for retirement or otherwise. I doubt anyone thought they would see prices this low again in their lifetime. We’re seeing large price drops in Las Vegas as well. Have to agree with Mack, retirement along a beach sounds like a great idea.

I think a lot of people are realizing the opportunities that are out there now. When you are able to buy something for less than it costs to produce you have to figure your getting a great deal.

The Denver real estate market has been driven mainly by people seeking the $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers. Although at least six bills have been introduced to extend it, it’s not certain to be extended yet. Everyone is waiting to get the President’s opinion before committing to extend it. If not, our market is in trouble. I would expect to decline further without an extension for the first time home buyer’s credit.
I suggest calling your Congressmen and women and your Senators if you agree.
Florida Real Estate can be high in rates because there are lots of reasons the first one is that, all people want some property in Florida. Their beaches and other qualities makes their Real Estate price so high.
Really very interesting stuff. Florida is very beautiful and gorgeous city to live. Surly it is the best time to book a retirement home in Florida since its price are 60 % down. It is good opportunity since the homes in Florida is very pricey.
im tempted myself to get something for my retirement before prices rocket up. It may sound cheesy, but I adore Florida and the whole disney thing. Im just an old Disney freak in search of some warmth in their old age.
I’m still 27 now, but after reading your article, may be Florida is my top choice as I retire.
I wonder, how much will it cost when I get retire?

I have lived on Anna Maria Island most of my life with the beach as my back yard and there is nothing better. At night on a clear night you can see hundreds if not thousands of stars – and the full moons as you mentioned are just breath taking.
