Florida Housing On The Rise Again.

I was watching the news today and they had a report on the steady rise in real estate sales in Florida and how they're starting to get back to the 2005/2006 area. The median house price in Hillsborough County in Tampa Bay for example is apprx. $134,800, while Tampa Bay as a whole is about $141,000. Yes, it's still lower than the hey days of the past but without the financial plagues to go with it. I've been also keeping an eye on North Carolina because I happen to like N.C. a lot and would someday like to retire there. In N.C. we can enjoy the change in seasons without the extremes of the northern or southern climates combined. I saw a listing for a quiet little town in Bertie County. This is a 3,000 sq/ft 2 story home for $52,900! That's an incredible price for this size home.Nags Head foreclosures has numerous listings from land only to mobile to full homes with and without waterfront access. I'd finally get to use my boat! When I retire that is and that probably won't be for a long time, not by my choosing that is.
