The difference between a good deal and a great deal....

There are quite a few short sales and REO properties on the market in the Viera, Suntree and Rockledge areas of Brevard County Florida. When shopping for a short sale buyers, or any home for that, are looking for deals. Many folks want a great deal. Some want a good deal. What is the difference?

It all depends on your perspective and goals. This is probably not a good time to be trying to guess the future and buy with the purpose of "flipping" a property in a short time. Many of the television shows sure make it look easy but...real life is not like TV!

If your goal is to locate a property at a reasonable price to live in for several years, then perhaps this is the time to buy. Only you know what is a good deal or a great deal.

Yes, the prices on homes in Viera, Suntree and Rockledge Florida have dropped. And, compared to several years ago, the prices do look attractive. Who knows where the market will be going? August sales were up in Brevard County - not too much publicity on that as bad news sells!
