Renting is a thought. I am going to try to sell it below my cost for a month. If it doesn't go, then I think I'll rent it out for a couple of years til the market turns. There will be only so many Championship golf front lots. The back of the house stays cooler due to the 60 foot live oaks. You don't get beaten to death by the sun. It's funny, so many people come to TV and end up buying more than one house. They trade up, down, and around!! Knowing what I know now, I would advise not to add all the landscaping, pavers, curbing, shutters and everything else for at least 6 months after you move in. Of course we are seniors and may not have a 10 year plan!! I heard a guy say he no longer buys green bananas! I'm still going slower on my new house.
