Well if people want to speculate on the southern area, I can offer one anecdotal example. I bought in Lake Denham. I was considering waiting for Eastport area. I only showed up in August to look around (had a rental) and see what was coming. When we drove through Eastport areas we didn't see much but flat land and not many areas that would be preserve type sites.
So we found a lot in Lake Denham that is on a preserve and a retention pond. We loved the lot and the house was suitable to our needs. So we bought it. But our lanai is empty. Our lights are off. We are a couple years from being able to move. We still work in Massachusetts. We will spend maybe 2 months total per year until we get there.
I can say the interior lots aren't going as fast as our preserve lots went. But in just the past 2 days we saw 2 houses go from pending to sold and 2 more go from available to pending. That was just in our neighborhood. Not all of Lake Denham, but one area (seems like Lake Denham has about 6 of these areas I'd call a neighborhood.
If they are still selling 350 per month, they are doing fine. They just have a lot of inventory right now. I'm sure lots of folks still holding out for Eastport area.
