Don't let a sense of urgency creep into your thinking. There is always enough turnover with our aging population in TV to give you some nice choices, if you are looking pre-owned.

We were fortunate in that we had friends who bought here in Largo, when it was brand-new, about a decade before we retired, and had us down a few times. Also we rented for 3 snowbird winters before we bought. This gave us ample opportunity to visit different areas and really helped us in our decision making.

Perhaps, if your home takes a while to sell, you can use the delay to make a few more visits and nail down more precisely areas you'd like to live, and like to avoid. It's a huge place, and not all of the areas are the same.

They all have something to offer, but they aren't all the same.
I think if you are patient you will be rewarded.
Best of luck!
