I live in a nice Winslow CYV on a corner lot. But, I'd like to upgrade to a Veranda with a view lot. It ain't easy. There aren't very many, and you have to enter lotteries.
tough being in rural FL in a development with more development going on, and people looking buy new versus old. . . there are tipping points for everything, but if a cow pasture looks like it can be developed by a developer, then a developer will develop. .
