Ready To Make The Move To The Sun?

By Bart Forcey

I could live here and be happy! When people spend a few days in Florida on vacation they often say to themselves how happy they would be if only they lived there. Obviously not everyone will follow through on it but enough will to make Florida not only one of the top vacation spots in the US but one of the top real estate locations.

So what would you do if you moved to Florida? Well you could do the things that you do on holiday but every weekend and holiday. If you like golf, well you can play it every day, if you like the beach then buy a home near to the beach. Moving to Florida isn't hard and there are some beautiful houses available.

One of the toughest things to decide can be how close to certain things you want to be. There is a element of pay off when deciding which part of Florida to move to. Luckily enough no where is too far away so as long as you are prepared for a bit of a drive you will be ok.

The first thing to decide is which part of Florida you want to live in.This can be a tougher descision than you would think because there are so many wonderful places to choose from. It is worth while making a short list of towns that have the facilities you want and then start to visit them for long weekends.

When you are visiting towns on your shortlist don't just do the things that a tourist would do. Go to the local ball game, go to a local council meeting if there is one on. Go speak to an real estate agent and find out where the locals go for coffee, the best bakery and maybe the truly local restaurants.

By spending some time with local people, eating where they eat, rooting for the local baseball or basketball team you will get a feel for if these are your kind of people. Knowing what your neighbors are going to be like before you even move there has many benefits. - 30214
