actually after living in florida for a number of years and talking to snowbirds I found they much prefer north carolina in the winter
I moved to Melbourne from Mass...just far enough from Busy Orlando and a few miles from the ocean...love it here so far.Hey all I've been thinking about moving to Florida for a few years now. But decided I will actively prepare my home for sale here.
Im looking for information in,the Pensacola area.
Thanks

One thing no one here has mentioned. If you're into politics, I'd check that out.Hey all I've been thinking about moving to Florida for a few years now. But decided I will actively prepare my home for sale here.

I guess one thing it might be helpful for us to know is why you've chosen Florida; that might make a difference as to where in the state we might suggest.Hey all I've been thinking about moving to Florida for a few years now. But decided I will actively prepare my home for sale here.

Home values haven't risen, Oldman; they've gone into space!I have a home for sale on Clearwater Beach or what is called Sand Key. Very beautiful. I took it off the market when the pandemic hit and haven’t restored the listing yet. Maybe before winter, if the mood strikes me I will resist it. Home values have risen since the pandemic.
Been to Sand Key beach many times before. Beautiful indeed!I have a home for sale on Clearwater Beach or what is called Sand Key. Very beautiful.

Don't forget the palmetto bugs!Somebody forgot to tell me Florida had scorpions.
Don't forget the palmetto bugs!
there are four varietes of scorpion three in the northern part and one in the southern and that one is particularly bad. also fire ants, gators, snakes, ticks, recluse/black widow spiders, panthers,sharks,bats snapping turtles and them little green things you cant see..........
I'd be very careful with a mobile home because of the hurricanes. Make sure you know what you're getting and expect to either be asked or told to evacuate.Well if you folks that are thinking about moving to Florida haven’t had the crap scared out of you with all these killer bugs, let me add my 2 cents worth. Going on 22 years here and didn’t even know we had scorpions. Fire ants can be treated. I haven’t had any in years. Big old roaches can get in once in awhile. I’ve sprayed and killed maybe 6-7 in all these years here. Never seen a bear or killer frog. Big patch of woods behind our house.
I have seen one Coral snake and let him go on its way. We do have black racer snakes around our house which is good. Keeps the bug and rodent population down. Had a gator in our canal once but he was looking for love and paid no attention to us. I can’t remember seeing a spider at all. I might mention we have no flies thanks to the gieko population.
We bought our place on the east coast 21 years ago. Paid 53,000 for it and now it’s worth well over 100,000. But, if you decide to buy in a mobile home park, look for one where you purchase the land it sits on. Rent is out of site in our parks and folks are almost giving away their homes because of high rent costs. We live in Palm Bay and we bought the land too. This community is a deed restricted park…thank heavens.
Shhhhh. Let them think the whole place is crawling with danger.Well if you folks that are thinking about moving to Florida haven’t had the crap scared out of you with all these killer bugs, let me add my 2 cents worth.

I see what you did there dog.lol. Florida is getting very crowded and the state is one of the most popular states to move to.Shhhhh. Let them think the whole place is crawling with danger.
I know what you mean about park space rents. Before we decided to buy a house, we looked at some really nice mobiles that were priced right. However, any spot even close to the Gulf, the lot rent was in the $1200 range. Didn't seem right, so we went house hunting instead.

I was born in Florida but did not live there long enough to have personal memories of it. However Florida friends have kept me in touch with their thoughts. One, a gentleman who used to publish a Florida magazine once told me "stay to the north. Less crowded; more peaceful; Pensacola? My first thought was a question. "Hurricanes"?there is a nice little rv park just north of kingman az, close enough for shopping out of the way for solitude...
