We are waiting until we get closer to his discharge before we do a lifestyle visit where we can pull the trigger on a home purchase (pre-owned preferrably).
However, I am concerned. I'm seeing many many homes for sale. Prices are dropping and I see auction and foreclosures. I'm seeing the developer drop the prices of the new homes down above Eastport, and those new homes which are going up are going to dilute the market.
Is there something I should know about before we decide to make TV our permanent home?
Please no flames or do I wish to start any negativity with my post; I am genuinely doing my due diligence and research.
Thanks and Regards,

There are ALWAYS many homes for sale. I don't think you are seeing many or in fact any with a price decrease. Sometimes the developer may get down to a slow selling property and may lower it but that doesn't happen often, only when they are finishing out a section. If you see auction or foreclosure that is because someone died and the bank owns the property and they are having difficulty finding heirs. Or it was foreclosed because of non-payments. This is still the most desirable place for retired people. I don't know if you son will enjoy it.
