You may want to budget more than $300,000 for your TV home. Prices are likely higher here than your home state. We came down five years ago planning to spend $250-300,000. I remember the expression on the realtors face. We ended up with a new two car plus golf cart home for $400,000 plus. We are not on the water and made our own view. Our closets are tiny and not rectangular and there are no basements, so we opted for a slightly larger home than we thought we needed. We are very happy we did.
