Real estate is definitely on the upswing. When I was looking in July/August, 2013, for 2B/2B patio villa, a brand new one was about 145K. Now, they are listed for 186K. You can buy a preowned for less, (little or no bond), but you need to consider how much it will cost you, if you want to decorate it, to your taste. My real estate person said I could get 20K to 25K from the date I bought my home, (six months ago). I think I could get more, as I have made several improvements.

I think I got in just under the wire, and I am so lucky! You might want to consider a pre-owned home as the new one's will be near Brownwood. A pre-owned will give you a better selection, of where you want to live. The pre-owned homes have mature landscaping. There are many lovely pre-owned homes in TV.

The really new section being built in Fruitland Park will be bigger homes, and more money. I haven't checked recently, but it seeems inventory is down, and demand is still great. Real estate is moving fast, so be ready to pull the trigger when you see something you like.
