If you are noise sensitive, watch out for a pool pump next door that is close to your bedroom window, and also traffic noise. Best to buy a house on a cul de sac because they are further apart. But, I think the biggest reason houses don't sell is that they are overpriced. It is easy to check the county website to see what the seller paid for the house, and what all the houses on the street sold for. I have seen houses listed for more than $100K above what the seller paid less than a year ago. Also, a 2 car garage is not enough. Most buyers want a separate space for their golf cart. If the house is big and expensive, often it won't sell because there is no golf or water view. Also, don't buy in Lake County. The taxes are too high. My two cents worth. Good luck.
