Hey guys...has anyone been through this subdivision lately?we puchased a lot a few years ago,and have not been back yet.We want to retire and are wondering if the area has any new buildings,or if it is the same as 3 years ago..Are all houses masonary? Is there an option?

Just thinking if this Area is going to become desireable,given there might be quite a few boomers looking to stake out a home in the warmth..Demographics tells me this area might be a good spot ,any thoughts??

Last year, the Sands was a mess with several unfinished and deserted homes under construction. Then there were a handful with Chinese drywall. This year, things are looking better except the values are still low due to the unsold new inventory I just mentioned driving down pricing. In general, I think it will come back with time. Yes, this area is definitely a magnet for boomers so hold on to your lot.

PS/ You should probably post this in the Sarasota or Ft. Myers forum.

If you purchased a few years ago then you will be taking a huge loss selling right now. My advice would be to hold onto it for a while, unless you have to sell.

Not much building going on so the demand for lots is not very high.
